What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 January 2023
SS Osmund and Andrew's RC Primary School is a welcoming school at the heart of its local community. Pupils, including children in early years, benefit from the kind and caring relationships that they forge with staff. Pupils feel safe and happy. They told the inspector that their school values of love, hope and faith are important in all that they do. Pupils have a strong, shared understanding of the clear rules and high standards that their teachers set. They engage enthusiastically in their learning and work hard to live up to leaders' and teachers' expectations. Pupils achieve well. They enjoy the rewards and recognition that they receive for their positive attitudes and behaviour. Pupils are polite and respectful. They learn to be kind towards each other and accepting of differences. Bullying is not tolerated. Pupils are confident that they can always talk to an adult who will help them if they are worried or have a problem. Pupils appreciate the opportunities that they have to gain positions of responsibility and to develop their independence. For example, they spoke to the inspector with pride about their roles as peer mediators, play leaders and environment champions.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders are still refining the specific knowledge that they want pupils to know. Leaders are also deciding how they check what pupils have learned. This means that some pupils do not learn as well as they could in these subjects. Leaders should finalise their curriculum thinking in these subjects so that teachers are clear about the knowledge that they need to teach and how they should evaluate pupils' learning.
