What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 January 2023

Leaders expect all pupils to reach their full potential at Shipston-on-Stour Primary School. Pupils live up to these expectations. They work hard in lessons and try their best. Pupils are well prepared for secondary school by the time they leave the school in Year 6. Pupils understand the school's code of conduct - described as 'RESPECT'. They learn about the importance of respect for others, showing this in how they treat one another and talk to adults. They look after their school and treat it with care. This makes the school a happy and welcoming place to be. Pupils learn about different types of bullying and express strong opinions that bullying is never acceptable. They learn to 'STOP' and 'start telling other people' as soon as bullying happens, and they trust adults to sort things out. This helps pupils to feel safe at school. Adults trust pupils with responsibilities and opportunities to make decisions about school life. Pupils are proud of these responsibilities and take them seriously. For example, each class has a representative on the school council. Pupils on the school council have begun working with leaders to review the range of extra-curricular activities offered by the school.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils have not attended school as regularly as leaders expect since the pandemic. This hinders them in reaching their full potential. Leaders should continue to work with families to ensure that all pupils attend school regularly.
