What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 December 2022

Pupils at St Anne's (Stanley) School thrive in a supportive and caring environment. Pupils understand the importance of responsibility. For example, older pupils said that they enjoy helping younger pupils, including children in the early years, to settle in well. The supportive relationships that staff have fostered with pupils help to ensure that children and pupils feel happy and safe in school. Pupils value their education, and they work hard in lessons. They respond positively to leaders' high expectations and they achieve well. Pupils said that staff willingly help them with their learning. Pupils are polite, well mannered and respectful towards each other. They behave well. Pupils are taught a range of strategies to help them to regulate their own emotions. This helps pupils to become increasingly confident and resilient. Leaders are thorough when they respond to incidents of bullying. Pupils are confident that leaders and teachers deal with any bullying swiftly and effectively. Pupils enjoy taking part in a wide range of extra-curricular clubs, such as judo, gymnastics, art, choir and cookery. Pupils benefit from many educational visits during their time at school. These experiences are fun and memorable. They also help pupils to deepen their understanding and bring the curriculum to life.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, leaders have not checked how well teachers are delivering the curriculum. As a result, leaders do not have a clear understanding of how well pupils are learning in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that these subject leaders are equipped well to check that teachers are delivering the curriculum as they intend.
  • Governors are not sufficiently well informed about how pupils are learning the curriculum in the foundation subjects. Sometimes, this hinders them from holding leaders fully to account for the quality of education that pupils receive. Governors should ensure that they have the information that they need to challenge leaders effectively.
