What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 October 2024
St Nicholas Chantry Church of England Primary School is welcoming and friendly. Pupils learn about the school's values of 'create, aspire and nurture' in assemblies and through their learning. Staff are relentless in their ambition to help pupils thrive. Pupils enjoy coming to school. This is reflected in their high attendance. Staff have high expectations of what pupils can do. Pupils understand and meet these. Most have positive attitudes to their learning. They are eager to share their ideas and value the rewards they receive for their positive engagement. Pupils speak enthusiastically about how they strengthen their knowledge through visits to places of interest. Beyond the classroom, pupils socialise happily. They understand it is important to treat everyone fairly. Pupils take pride in the responsibilities they hold. These include being house captains, pupil chaplains and kindness ambassadors. Through these leadership positions, pupils become self-assured and independent. They are confident to express their opinions. They recognise that it is important to listen to the views of others. Pupils regularly participate in local community events, such as the local harvest festival. Opportunities such as these support them to become active citizens in their locality.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, what is known about pupils' understanding of the curriculum is not used to make necessary adaptations. This prevents pupils from learning in as much depth as they could in these subjects. The school should ensure that assessment is used to inform teaching so that it supports pupils to build their knowledge over time.
- In some subjects, the teaching of the curriculum does not support pupils to reach the intended curriculum goals. Therefore, pupils do not build a sufficient depth of knowledge in these subjects. The school should ensure that teachers have the expertise required to make the right pedagogical choices to teach the curriculum as planned.
