St Peter and St Paul CofE Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 November 2023

This welcoming school is at the heart of the local community. Pupils are encouraged to always try their best - to 'shine their light'. They are eager to share their learning and enjoy coming to school. The school provides an extremely caring, inclusive and safe environment. Adults are very approachable and supportive. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour, attitudes to learning and their achievement. Pupils rise to meet these aspirations. In early years, children work with focus. They are attentive to adults and cooperate well with each other. This continues with pupils in Year 5 who act as reading ambassadors for pupils in Year 1. The 'buddy system' provides a listening ear for pupils' concerns at breaktimes. They care for each other very well. 'Active breaks' are a time when pupils have a physical challenge or focus. These are well led by adults. They promote extremely positive behaviour during outdoor breaktimes. Pupils understand that some may need extra time and support with their behaviour. They say that their school rules are fair. The school values are courage, respect, forgiveness, kindness, hope and fairness. These are skilfully woven through school life. They help pupils to build respectful relationships. They have a positive impact on the school community.
