What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 March 2023
St Anne's Fulshaw CofE School is a caring and welcoming place to learn. Staff, parents/carers and pupils describe the school as like being part of 'one big family'. Warm relationships are at the heart of this school. Pupils comment that they feel safe. They know that staff care about them. They value the wide range of pastoral support offered to them by adults. They trust that there is always an adult available to help them if they have any concerns. Leaders and staff have high expectations of all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They expect every pupil to achieve and behave well and are successful at making these things happen. Pupils are extremely eager learners. They comment that their teachers make learning fun. Pupils' behaviour is impeccable. They are deeply respectful and considerate of each other. For example, they check without hesitation that others are all right when a stray ball hits one of them. Bullying is very rare. Leaders deal with it swiftly and effectively. The school's strong shared values and leaders' commitment to nurture and the celebration of diversity make this school highly inclusive. Pupils learn to be valuable and responsible members of the school community by engaging in leadership opportunities, such as being mental-health champions and games leaders.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not given sufficient thought to the essential knowledge that pupils must learn and in what order they should learn it. Consequently, this hinders how well some pupils learn in these subjects. Leaders should finalise their curriculum thinking in these subjects so that teachers have enough information to shape teaching, enabling all pupils to achieve well.
