What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
This is a happy school where pupils are not afraid to share their views because they know they have a voice. Pupils from different cultures and faiths thrive here. They are treated as individuals, but know they are part of something bigger. Pupils are openly welcoming to visitors and proud to celebrate and share their passions and interests when given the chance (which is quite often if you are a pupil here). The school sits as one special community at the heart of many. Aspirations for what pupils can achieve in and out of classrooms are high. Pupils from all backgrounds, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), do well both academically and socially. Parents agree. They also agree that their children feel safe here because of the care of hard-working staff. Pupils behave well. They like that the school is a friendly place. Older pupils talk positively about the way they are openly encouraged to play an active part in school life. Break and lunchtimes are a notable delight at St Ebbe's. Boredom has been confined to the past as imaginations are stretched by a multitude of opportunities, enabling 'children to be children' in a safe, exciting and inclusive way.
What the school should improve
- The school's work to develop pupils' love of reading is not as consistent as leaders intend. In some year groups, pupils do not read as widely or as often as they might. This means that whilst some pupils experience a rich and varied menu of high-quality books and texts, some are less well served. Leaders are aware of this. Work has begun to address the issue. Leaders now need to make their expectations more overtly clear, so that all pupils have the same opportunities and their love of reading and the written word is developed fully by the time they leave the school.
