What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 June 2023
St Andrew and St Francis CofE Primary School is at the heart of the local community. Pupils enjoy coming to school every day. They are happy and safe because adults are caring and kind. Adults know pupils well, and pupils are well looked after. They think carefully about pupils' pastoral care, including any mental health and social and emotional needs. The new leadership team has high expectations for every pupil. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Leaders take swift action to address any unkindness when it does occur. Pupils enjoy playing together and taking part in the activities staff provide for them. They generally behave well in class and around the school site. Pupils enjoy their learning and the wider opportunities that are on offer. These include a range of clubs, visitors and outings. Taking on responsibilities is a key part of school life, with roles including reading and eco-leaders. Pupils are well prepared for their future learning. They build up the knowledge and vocabulary they will need for their next stages in education.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, key content, starting from early years, is not identified precisely. As a result, teachers do not break down subject content into smaller chunks, which can overload pupils' working memory. Leaders should ensure that the knowledge they want pupils to know and remember is clearly identified in all subjects.
- Sometimes, the intended curriculum is not implemented in teaching well. This limits pupils' deeper learning of subject content. Leaders need to ensure that teachers have secure subject-specific knowledge so that pupils gain deep knowledge and skills.
