What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 December 2023
There is a real sense of community at St Paul's Church of England Primary School. Parents and carers are extremely positive about the school's work. One parent's comment echoed the views of many others when they said: 'It really feels like a family, where all faiths are welcome and my children thrive.' Staff know pupils well. Pupils are kept safe and feel happy in this caring school. The school has high expectations of all pupils. The school has an ambitious and inclusive curriculum that meets pupils' needs, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils achieve well across many subjects. Pupils enjoy coming to this school. Their behaviour is exemplary in lessons and at playtimes. They are polite and well mannered. Pupils are encouraged to learn from and live out the school's vision and values of 'excellence, understanding, joy and faith'. There are many opportunities for pupils to be role models. This includes being a member of the school council, acting as a 'playground friend' or being a 'house captain'. Pupils benefit from the large number of visits and residentials on offer. The school community celebrates and takes pride in its local links, including to the abolitionist William Wilberforce, whose money built the school and the neighbouring church.
What the school should improve
- The school has made changes to the curriculum in a few subjects. Some of these changes are in the early stages of being implemented. As a result, there are some inconsistencies in how well these subjects are delivered, including how the school checks what pupils know and remember. The school should ensure that the changes to the curriculum are firmly embedded, including the use of assessment to address gaps in pupils' knowledge.
