What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 November 2024

St. Anne's is a welcoming school. Pupils enjoy learning and attend regularly. Caring relationships exist between pupils and staff. Pupils trust staff to act on any concerns they might have, including bullying, quickly and effectively. This contributes to them feeling safe and valued. The school expects pupils to achieve well, and most do. This is because the school has high ambition for all. The newly formed leadership team works diligently to revise the curriculum so that pupils learn more in each subject. High expectations of pupils' behaviour start in Reception Year. Here, children listen and take turns. Pupils of all ages display the school's values through their work and play. They show 'respect' by not speaking over someone and 'friendship' by using kind words. Pupils proudly take on roles of responsibility, such as house captains and worship ambassadors. Year 6 pupils delight in being 'buddies' for Reception children. Pupils enthuse about the clubs they can join to explore their interests, such as sports and crafts. Purposeful experiences throughout the curriculum enrich pupils' learning. These include planting in the sensory garden and first-aid workshops. Special events like Rosa Parks Day develop pupils' understanding of equality and discrimination.

What the school should improve

  • By the end of Year 6, some disadvantaged pupils do not achieve as well as they could in reading, writing and mathematics. This means that these pupils leave the school without a secure foundation of important knowledge. The school should ensure that outcomes improve for disadvantaged pupils.
  • Pupils do not get sufficient opportunities to practise using their phonics knowledge in their writing. As a result, this slows the progress some pupils make in writing. The school should make sure that staff provide regular opportunities for pupils to apply their reading skills in their writing.
