What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 November 2025
St David's is a school that welcomes and accepts everyone. Staff greet pupils each day with a warm smile. They show genuine care and compassion towards pupils by taking the time to understand their needs and interests. This creates a sense of safety and belonging. It also gives pupils the confidence to share any worries they have with staff. Pupils embody the school's core values. For example, they understand the importance of resilience during cross-country running. They respect different values and beliefs. As soon as children start in the early years, they quickly learn how to socialise and follow routines. Across the school, pupils attend often. They maintain their focus in lessons so that learning continues uninterrupted. Pupils show genuine care and kindness towards one another, making bullying and unkind behaviour rare. Pupils appreciate the additional opportunities that the school provides, such as sports leadership and house captain roles. Older pupils act as positive role models. They enjoy the responsibility of leading others by organising games at lunchtime for younger children. The school offers a wide range of clubs and activities, including chess and sewing. Leaders track participation to ensure that all pupils have the opportunity to attend. For pupils who prefer a calmer lunchtime, the 'harbour' room provides a quiet space to socialise and manage their wellbeing. From the excitement of designing rockets to understanding how forces work, pupils enjoy learning new information. Overall, pupils achieve in line with national expectations by the end of Year 6, so they are ready for their next steps. However, sometimes teaching does not help pupils to become fluent writers.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should ensure that their new approach to teaching handwriting is implemented consistently well so that pupils' writing fluency and the quality of their work improve.
- Leaders should continue to ensure that disadvantaged pupils receive the support they need to achieve as highly as possible across the curriculum.
