What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 February 2023

Pupils enjoy coming to St Paul's CofE Primary School. They try their best to live out the school's vision to 'shine like stars in the world'. Pupils take pride in their school. They show a keen interest in the running of the school and take on a range of leadership roles, such as being 'courageous advocates'. This involves supporting a range of charities, both national and global and in the local area. The school parliament works with staff, governors, parents, pupils and St. Paul's church to identify worthy causes to support. Pupils are fully engaged in their lessons. Positive behaviour is instilled from the moment children enter the nursery provision. Pupils are eager to talk about what they enjoy about their school. Pupils are polite and courteous to one another and to adults when moving around the school. If bullying takes place, adults quickly put things right. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' achievement. They offer them an interesting and balanced curriculum. Pupils can attend a wide range of clubs linked to their interests, including art, horse riding and sports. Leaders work hard to make positive links with the local community. These include visits to local places of worship.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders have recently developed a more ambitious curriculum for the foundation subjects. However, these changes, such as in subjects like design technology, have not addressed the gaps in early knowledge for some pupils. Some pupils' learning therefore does not build on what they already know. Leaders should ensure that pupils' learning in all subjects builds on what they already know.
  • In some subjects, the curriculum does not build on from the early years. In these subjects, children are not as well prepared for learning in key stage 1 as they could be. Subject leaders should ensure that the early years curriculum prepares children well for learning in key stage 1.
