What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 November 2024

St Paul's is a small, friendly school with the community at its heart. A positive, nurturing atmosphere permeates the school. Each morning, staff warmly greet pupils, setting a positive and welcoming tone for the day. The school's exceptional early years provision provides a strong foundation for children's learning, ensuring children feel supported and inspired from the start. This school is inclusive, where everyone feels welcomed. A well-considered curriculum, underpinned by the school's aspirational aims, enables pupils to learn and achieve well. Staff maintain high expectations for behaviour, beginning as soon as children join the school. Children in early years demonstrate exceptional kindness and respect towards others. Older pupils value the outdoor space and enjoy the range of activities provided to keep them engaged during playtimes. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive and supportive. Pupils know that if they have a worry, they can speak to an adult in school who will help them. Pupils feel happy and are kept safe. The school offers a variety of opportunities for pupils to take on responsibilities. For example, the 'kindness crew' members have led an assembly, teaching others about the importance of kindness. Such roles help pupils build confidence and develop leadership skills.

What the school should improve

  • In Years 1 to 6, the revised curriculum for some subjects is in the early stages of implementation. As a result, pupils are not consistently building their knowledge in a logical sequence over time. This can limit pupils' progression through the curriculum. The school should ensure that pupils develop a secure understanding of key concepts before progressing to new content, enabling them to deepen their knowledge effectively over time.
