What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 December 2024

Shottery St Andrew's is a small school with a friendly, family feel. The school has a strong community spirit. The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils rise to these high expectations. They enjoy school. The school teaches pupils their SHINE values, which include being sincere and happy. Pupils demonstrate these values in their learning and behaviour. Pupils are cheerful, polite and welcoming. They enjoy positive relationships with their peers and adults. They value their education and this is reflected in the improved rates of attendance. Pupils behave well. They understand the school's high expectations of their behaviour, both in lessons and at play. Pupils benefit from staff knowing them very well as individuals. Pupils are confident that if they have any worries, there is always an adult in the school who will listen and help. Pupils embrace the range of leadership opportunities that the school provides for them. These include being student councillors, house captains and members of the collective worship committee. Pupils regularly lead assemblies and promote key messages to the whole school. The school provides pupils with a range of clubs that develop their talents and interests. These activities include dance, choir and coding clubs.

What the school should improve

  • There are some inconsistencies in the school's approach to improve the quality of writing. The handwriting aspect of some pupils' work does not reflect the quality of their written work. The school should ensure that pupils are provided with the support they need to write with fluency and with accurate letter formation, so that they are well prepared for the next steps.
  • The school does not have a consistent and rigorous approach to the teaching of times tables. As a result, pupils do not develop the mathematical fluency they need for future learning. The school needs to implement a clear approach to ensure pupils have secure knowledge and recall of multiplication facts.
