What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2022
Pupils at St Gregory Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School are happy and enjoy their learning. They listen respectfully in lessons to adults and each other. Classrooms are calm places where pupils can focus on their learning. This helps most pupils to achieve well. Trips and visits provide opportunities to further develop pupils' learning. For example, a trip to see 'Matilda' followed a 'Matilda' book study. The range of clubs on offer helps to nurture pupils' talents beyond the classroom. For example, the choir has performed at a world-famous concert hall and at a local care home. There are many ways for pupils to take on responsibilities, including leading prayers and being team point monitors. Pupils can also contribute to changes in the school through their school council. For example, the school council's work led to the creation of a 'kindness corner' on the field. It is a space for pupils who prefer quieter places to play. Pupils feel safe. If they have a worry or a concern, they know that there are always adults who they can talk to. If bullying happens, they can tell an adult and it will stop.
What the school should improve
- Some subject leaders have few opportunities to monitor the aspects they oversee to ensure that the curriculum is being implemented as they intend. This means some issues, such as whether teachers ensure that pupils sufficiently revisit and secure key knowledge, are not identified and resolved quickly enough. Leaders should ensure that there is a clear cycle of monitoring to inform training and support for teachers to further strengthen all pupils' achievement.
