What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2024
This is a well-led school where pupils enjoy positive relationships with adults. Across the school community, there is a strong sense of togetherness. The school expects pupils to work hard and behave well. Most pupils meet these high expectations. Pupils are a credit to the school. They are friendly and courteous, behaving well in lessons and around the school. The calm atmosphere from the early years to Year 6 helps pupils to enjoy their lessons and to do their best. Pupils feel safe and happy. They know that they can talk to an adult if anything is worrying them. Staff take great care to meet the needs of all pupils. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school makes sure that it includes all pupils in everything that it does. Pupils engage well with their learning activities. For example, in the early years, children enjoy following their ideas to make 'elf wands'. In key stage 2 history, pupils discuss the significance of listed buildings. Parents and carers hold the school in high regard. They value the sense of 'family' and strong pastoral care. One parent, whose comment was typical of many, said, 'St Anne's is a lovely school where they really appreciate the whole child.'
What the school should improve
- Until recently, pupils have been introduced to new, more formal methods of calculation before they are ready. This has led to pupils not developing their knowledge and understanding of different mathematical concepts in a consistently secure way. The school should ensure that the revised approach to building pupils' understanding in mathematics, which has been recently introduced, enables all pupils to become secure in their knowledge of different mathematical concepts.
