What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 November 2022
Pupils at St George's enjoy school. They are keen to learn and relish the positive experiences through the extra opportunities such as the clubs for science, football and dance. They are very proud of their school and say that it is a friendly place where everyone is welcome. The headteacher knows and understands the school community well. She greets everyone in the morning with Roxy, the school dog. This is appreciated by all. Pupils know the importance of treating everyone fairly and with respect. They talk confidently about the school's ethos and values and how these help them to learn. Daily collective worship is an important part of the school day. Pupils who are 'worship leaders' play an active role in assemblies, acting as positive role models for younger pupils. On Fridays, pupils are eager to celebrate the 'Golden Box' achievements of their classmates. The school's Christian values are central to the actions of leaders and staff. Adults have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and attitudes. This means that pupils play and learn well together and that they feel safe. Bullying and unkind behaviour are not tolerated. Pupils value the school's 'friendship bench' which encourages everyone to be kind.
What the school should improve
- At times, pupils do not have enough opportunity to read and practise the sounds they know. This sometimes limits how quickly pupils develop their fluency and comprehension. Leaders need to make sure that teachers are carefully checking the books the pupils take home and make sure that they are getting enough practice in reading together in school.
- In some lessons, adaptations to the curriculum for pupils with SEND are variable. When this happens, pupils with SEND do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that teachers have the right training and support to provide suitable adaptations to the curriculum that will help them learn independently.
