What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
St Paul's CofE Primary is a welcoming school with a family feel. There is a lovely, calm and purposeful atmosphere. The school has good relationships with the local community and provides support where possible, such as food banks and fundraising. Pupils demonstrate a strong understanding of the importance of showing respect to everyone. Pupils are proud to attend the school. The school has high expectations of the achievement and behaviour of pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are increasingly rising to meet these high expectations. Pupils have positive attitudes to their learning. Their attitudes are further encouraged through the 'St Paul's Promise'. Pupils are polite and courteous to adults and their peers. Pupils behave well. They are happy and safe at school. Staff care for them well. They help pupils to identify their emotions. They guide pupils to respond to their feelings in healthy ways that support their well-being. The school promotes a strong sense of responsibility. Pupils take on many leadership roles. These include participating in community projects, such as fundraising for charities. Class-led assemblies happen regularly. These support the school's intention to develop pupils' character and spirituality through exploring themes, such as love and national celebration events.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the impact of the curriculum on pupils' learning is not being checked carefully enough. This means the school does not always know how well improvement actions are impacting on pupils' learning. The school should ensure actions to improve the curriculum are monitored closely.
- Some of the adaptions to learning for pupils with SEND are not effective. On occasion, some pupils with SEND do not make as much progress as they could. The school should ensure that support for pupils with SEND is as effective as possible so that they learn more.
