What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 December 2023
St Nicholas Primary School is a well-organised and welcoming school. Pupils are well cared for. As one parent said, 'This is a small school with a huge heart.' Staff and pupils know each other well. They chat to each other around the school and enjoy relationships that are polite and courteous. Bullying is rare. Pupils know who they can go to if they have any concerns. They appreciate the school's 'worry monster', which helps them to report their worries confidentially. Pupils know that staff have high expectations of them, and they work hard to do well. Pupils are respectful of people's differences. They recognise that it is alright to be different. They are respectful when talking about sensitive issues, such as racism and homophobia. The school is ambitious for what pupils can achieve. The academy trust provides a broad range of training for teachers and leaders. Subject leaders have thought carefully about the knowledge that is included in the school's curriculum.
What the school should improve
- Some teachers do not check whether pupils understand what they are being taught carefully enough in lessons. This means that some pupils find work too hard. Leaders should support teachers to make thorough checks on pupils' learning so that they can provide work that closely meets all pupils' needs.
- Plans to support pupils with SEND do not provide sufficient detail. This means that leaders cannot be sure that these pupils get support that is well matched to their needs. The school should ensure that plans to support pupils with SEND have clear targets and give staff the information they need to provide precise support.
