What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 May 2025
Shrewton CofE Primary School is anchored at the heart of the community. Respect and kindness underpin the relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils understand that their actions and words can help to power the school and each other with love. Pupils enjoy coming to a school where they feel safe and valued. One parent's view that their child looks forward to attending each day is shared by many. The school wants its pupils to 'Achieve, Believe and Grow'. They ensure pupils learn the same broad, ambitious curriculum. Staff have high expectations for pupils to achieve their best. Pupils are motivated and engaged learners. They eagerly act on advice from teachers about how to improve their work. Published outcomes are in line with national averages, and pupils are well prepared for the next stage in their education. Pupils are proud of their school. They are keen to take on extra responsibilities. These include healthy food ambassadors and being members of the 'clean team'. Through these roles, pupils contribute to supporting others in a meaningful way. Children from military families value the 'Red, White and Blue club'. It builds their sense of belonging and provides time for them to play and talk together.
What the school should improve
- For some pupils with SEND, the school's guidance is not precise enough to enable staff to fully understand these pupils' needs and how best to support them. This means that, on occasion, pupils' needs are not well met. The trust needs to ensure that information about pupils with SEND is clear and specific, so they are supported to learn successfully at every opportunity.
