What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 April 2025
St Anne's CofE (VC) Primary School lives by its Christian values. Pupils thrive, and there is a strong sense of community. The school works closely with parents and carers, who greatly value what the school offers. There are high expectations of what all pupils can achieve. The school's curriculum is broad and challenging. Pupils really enjoy their learning, and across the school they learn well. Pupils are very well prepared for the next stage in their education. Starting in the early years, staff forge strong relationships with pupils. The school provides high-quality care. Pupils know there is always an adult to turn to who can resolve any issues. This helps them to feel safe. The school expects pupils to meet a high standard of behaviour. Pupils behave very well in lessons and at social times, and the school is a calm and purposeful place. They attend well. Visitors and trips out of school contribute well to pupils' learning. Pupils can take up a wide range of responsibilities, such as reading ambassadors, school councillors or house captains. They contribute to school decision-making. Pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, benefit from taking part in several different clubs after school.
What the school should improve
- In lessons, pupils' misconceptions are sometimes not identified promptly enough. As a result, pupils repeat errors or are unsure how to approach a task. The school should ensure that pupils' understanding is checked more consistently and carefully so that staff can address any misconceptions at the earliest opportunity.
- In some foundation subjects, monitoring has not refined the implementation of the curriculum as sharply as it might. Sometimes, pupils do not learn the key knowledge as easily and as fully as they could do. The school should ensure that staff who lead subjects have the expertise and the opportunity to further develop classroom practice.
