What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 March 2024
St Peter's Anglican Methodist VC Primary has been through an unsettled time since the previous inspection. New leaders have been in place for the past two years and they have made some positive alterations to the curriculum. They have a strong vision, but the full impact of this is yet to be realised. Recent published outcomes at the end of key stage 2 show there is further work to do to support pupils to achieve their full potential. The school is at the heart of the community. Pupils are welcoming and kind. They are courteous to visitors. Pupils demonstrate the school's distinctive values which include 'honesty' and compassion.' They attend well and are safe. Relationships between adults and pupils are strong. Pupils learn in a calm environment. The school's behaviour motto of 'ready, respectful and safe' is known by all. Pupils understand why it is important to do their best. Pupils take part in a variety of enrichment activities. These are carefully planned to support and build on areas of the curriculum. For example, pupils visit the Houses of Parliament. Consequently, they make links between the democratic process and voting for house captains. Pupils develop new skills and talents through a range of clubs. These include kick boxing and football. Pupils are proud to represent their school in sporting tournaments. They are competitive, but fair-minded. They value the opportunity to participate in competitions.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is either not fully developed or implemented as intended. Consequently, pupils are not supported to build their subject knowledge in a cumulative way. The school needs to ensure that the curriculum in all subjects is well designed and taught effectively.
- Where the curriculum is established, staff do not use what they know about how well pupils have learned the curriculum to inform what they learn next. Therefore, pupils either have gaps in their knowledge of key concepts or ideas or do not move on when they are ready to do so. The school should ensure that assessment is used to inform teaching, so that it supports pupils to learn the curriculum successfully.
