What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 February 2024
The school has a clear vision for being at the heart of the community. It has dealt well with an ever-shifting landscape of changes to the locality. Consequently, St Andrew's Primary School is an oasis in its location. The school's values, 'cherish, nurture, aspire, achieve', are at the heart of everything that happens. Pupils, including the high number with complex needs, are happy and flourish in the nurturing environment. Expectations in the school are high. Pupils achieve well. They develop a strong understanding of community through visits to the church and visitors to their school, such as the fire brigade. Equally, the school invests in pupils' successful understanding of diversity through literature and celebrating culture in cities such as London. Pupils feel safe. Relationships in the school are positive. Pupils behave well. They understand the school routines and follow them appropriately. Consequently, the school is calm and orderly. There is a kind and respectful atmosphere, both in and outside the classroom. Pupils hold purposeful positions of responsibility. They are, for example, librarians, techno wizards, house captains, class monitors, physical education assistants, gardeners and mental health ambassadors. These experiences ensure that pupils support each other. They are very well prepared for life in modern Britain.
What the school should improve
- Writing is not yet developed well across the full curriculum. In some subjects in the wider curriculum, pupils are not given opportunities to use their vocabulary and skills in writing. The trust must ensure that pupils are able to write meaningfully about what they are learning in every subject.
- In some wider curriculum subjects, the school does not check pupils' learning well enough. As a result, there are gaps in what pupils can remember and understand. The trust must ensure that learning is checked thoroughly and consistently so that any weaknesses in learning can be rectified. In this way, pupils will be able to deepen their knowledge in every subject.
