What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 May 2024

This is a small, friendly school that sits at the heart of the local community. The hardworking and approachable staff know all the pupils well. Relationships between them are caring and respectful. This means pupils feel safe and happy at school. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning and they achieve and behave well. When pupils leave Snitterfield, they are well-rounded, confident individuals who are ready for the next stage of education. The school's six-character strengths of honesty, resilience, curiosity, community awareness, respect and reflection are central to all areas of school life. Pupils take pride in collecting badges to show when they demonstrate these characteristics. They love school and say their lessons are fun. Classrooms are calm and pupils concentrate on their learning in class. In the playground, pupils play happily and they agree that 'everyone has somebody to play with'. The children in Reception enjoy having the support of their Year 6 buddy at lunchtimes. Pupils can develop their interests and talents after school with clubs such as sports, coding and chess. At lunchtimes, the gardening club maintains a thriving school garden and pupils enjoy eating the produce they grow.

What the school should improve

  • The school does not always communicate clearly with parents about the processes and provision for pupils with SEND. Some parents of pupils with SEND do not feel well informed about how the school is supporting their child or the processes used to get extra help. The school should ensure that they communicate effectively with parents about this aspect of the school's work.
