St Mewan Community Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 May 2024

The school's vision of St Mewan being a place where 'learning, laughter and friendship are shared' is realised. The school is a happy environment where pupils receive a high-quality education. Relationships between staff and pupils are mutually respectful. Parents who responded to Ofsted Parent View say that staff nurture and encourage their children. Pupils at St Mewan are kind and compassionate. For example, they are careful to include everyone when playing at social times. They champion each other in their learning, such as when mastering their multiplication tables. Children in Reception and Nursery Year play together harmoniously. They benefit from well-planned activities in the newly repurposed outside space. These include the development of their gross motor skills on the climbing equipment and the improvement of their communication and problem-solving through play in the sand pit. Pupils enjoy a wide set of experiences beyond the academic curriculum. Older pupils take on the responsibility of being play and sports leaders, as well as mental health or reading ambassadors. Pupils, including children in Nursery and Reception Year, go on trips to the theatre and local garden centre. Many pupils participate in the extensive choice of sporting clubs. They also pursue different interests through clubs such as choir, coding and reading adventurers.
