What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
Pupils are very happy to be members of this kind and caring school community. This is reflected in the pupils' impeccable behaviour during their lessons and throughout the school day. Pupils benefit from trusting relationships with staff and each other. They feel listened to. This helps them to feel safe. Those pupils who may find managing their own behaviour a challenge are supported very well. This means that pupils can learn without interruption. Children in the Reception Year quickly absorb the routines and rules that help them to learn well in school. From the minute children enter the Reception classes they are taught the 'St. Ann's way.' The values of courtesy, care and concentration are expected from all. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enjoy their learning and strive to meet the high standards that the school has set for their achievement. As a result, pupils achieve well. There is an impressive range of opportunities that are available to nurture pupils' talents and interests. This is because the school places great importance on pupils' social and emotional development. Pupils benefit from residential visits that are linked carefully to aspects of the curriculum. They enjoy a range of after-school clubs, such as art and archery, alongside clubs that support their learning. Pupils appreciate the sporting opportunities that the school provides and say that they are proud to represent their school in competitions. Such activities allow pupils to develop their confidence, team building and leadership skills. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
What the school should improve
- In a very small number of foundation subjects, the recall opportunities provided to revisit learning from previous units of work are not as effective as they could be. This makes it difficult for pupils to remember what they have been taught over time. The school should ensure that staff enable pupils to recap their previous learning sufficiently well so that they know and remember more over time.
