What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 November 2023
Pupils are safe and happy at St George's. The school has high expectations for the learning and behaviour of all pupils. There is a calm, quiet atmosphere in the school. Behaviour is typically good in class and around the school. Pupils like their teachers, enjoy learning and work hard in lessons. Pupils achieve well in most subjects. Pupils from many different backgrounds get on well together. Adults rapidly resolve any arguments, when necessary. Pupils are exceptionally well cared for. Pupils say they know who to go to if they are worried about anything. Adults listen to them, and pupils are confident that they will get the help they need. Pupils enjoy the many after-school clubs. Most take part in clubs at some point during the school year. Pupils love the wide range of visits and visitors linked to subjects they are learning. There are opportunities for families to have fun visits together to places like a local circus. Most parents appreciate everything the school does for them and their children. Children make an excellent start to their education in Nursery and Reception. Children quickly settle down due to consistent routines and the high expectations of all staff.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, teachers do not clearly explain what pupils should know, understand and be able to do by the end of a lesson or sequence of lessons. As a result, pupils do not remember the intended knowledge by the end of a unit of work. The school should ensure that, in all subjects, teachers are clear about the important knowledge they want pupils to learn by the end of a sequence of lessons so that pupils know and remember more by the end of each unit of work.
