St Andrew's CofE Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 February 2024

Pupils' behaviour is consistently excellent. They are impressively kind and respectful. Pupils benefit from warm and positive relationships with staff and other pupils. This starts in early years, where children learn to be considerate and kind to each other. Pupils closely abide by the golden rules which include respecting differences and trying their best. Their opinions are regularly sought and listened to. They understand the importance of accepting others for who they are and valuing diversity. This helps pupils to feel safe and have a sense of belonging. The school is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils focus well during lessons and are keen to participate and focus. The calm and purposeful learning environment positively promotes learning. As a result, pupils achieve well across the curriculum. Pupils keenly take on a range of leadership roles, such as lunchtime monitors, play leaders and reading ambassadors. They appreciate attending a broad range of clubs, such as drama, choir, netball and football. These opportunities support pupils to develop skills to work as part of a team and to develop new talents and interests. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school and the education and care their children receive.

What the school should improve

• In some subjects, pupils are helped to remember long term the content they have been taught but this is less well developed in a few subjects. This means that in these subjects, pupils' recall over time is less secure. Leaders should continue to refine their work, so that teaching supports pupils to achieve highly across the curriculum over time.
