St John and St James CofE Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 May 2024

Pupils love coming to this inclusive and nurturing school. Behaviour in the school is exemplary. Pupils demonstrate kindness and respect towards their peers. There are warm relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils know they are safe and can name a trusted adult they would talk to if they were worried about anything. Bullying is rare, but if it happens, pupils know it will be dealt with appropriately by staff. Leaders have a clear and ambitious vision for the school and are determined all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), will achieve their full potential. The school has established a curriculum that helps pupils to secure a deep knowledge of each subject. Pupils achieve highly in all areas of the curriculum, and parents and carers praise the education their children receive. The school provides a wide range of extra-curricular activities for pupils. This includes after-school clubs for tag rugby and cookery, for example. It ensures all pupils have access to these clubs, offering free places to support attendance. Additionally, the school invites visitors to enrich the curriculum, including authors and theatre groups. There are also trips throughout the school year, for example to museums and art galleries and places of worship.
