What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
This is a welcoming and inclusive school. Many pupils and staff talk of belonging to the 'St Anne's family'. Everyone does their best to live by the school values: 'equal, loved and safe'. Pupils enjoy school and attend regularly. They are happy, safe and secure. Staff set high expectations for behaviour. The majority of pupils behave well. The school provides good support for those pupils who need help with behaviour. There are quiet spaces around school where pupils can go if they need to calm down and be ready to learn. The support for pupils' well-being is a strength of the school. The school is ambitious for all, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). These ambitions are realised. Pupils achieve highly. They are well prepared for the next phase in their education. The school ensures that all pupils have a range of wider experiences and opportunities. This includes visits to the theatre and museums. Family trips to the seaside are a firm favourite. Pupils enjoy a range of clubs such as art and chess. They contribute to school life, for example, as school councillors or by leading worship. These activities help pupils to become responsible citizens.
What the school should improve
- There is a lack of understanding of how learning in early years links to some curriculum subject areas for older pupils. This means that expectations of what children can do when they enter Year 1 are sometimes too low. The school should strengthen understanding of how knowledge develops in early years so that expectations are suitably high in key stage 1.
- The arrangements to assess the impact of the curriculum on pupils' achievement are not secure across all subjects. This means that some gaps in pupils' knowledge are not addressed. The school must ensure that checks on pupils' learning are effective to help them to build consistent knowledge across all subjects.
- Governors' oversight of school development lacks precision. As a result, the school is not always held to account for the effectiveness of actions, such as reviewing the impact of pupil premium funding. Governors should strengthen their oversight further to ensure that all pupils benefit from decisions made by the school.
