What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 September 2024
Through perseverance, courage, respect and compassion, staff and pupils are united in their aim to 'unlock potential'. This aim is realised. It underpins all that happens at the school. It contributes to St Peter's being the harmonious community that it is. Pupils are proud of their school. This is reflected in their positive behaviour. Pupils know the importance of being 'ready, respectful and safe'. They hold doors open for adults and each other. They make way to let each other pass in corridors. They thrive on the rewards that are on offer, including earning house points, the different coloured wristbands and being recognised in Friday's golden assembly. Spending time with Nelson, the highly popular school dog, is always a favourite. Pupils say that poor behaviour is rare. However, when it occurs, it is dealt with quickly. Pupils are inclusive. They look out for one another. One pupil summed up many when they said: 'We're an inclusive school. It doesn't matter who you are, everyone is always included.' Pupils have an impressive understanding of British values; they know why these are important.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of cases, teaching does not align with the intended curriculum. Occasionally, the resources used do not accurately support the intended learning aims. This means that pupils miss out on some of the important building blocks of knowledge that they need. The school should ensure that all lessons and teaching materials are closely and consistently matched to the intent that is mapped out in the curriculum.
- The school has not yet established a consistent approach to how pupils who speak English as an additional language will be supported when they join the school. This means that the school cannot be sure that these pupils get off to the best start possible. The school should ensure that it has a consistent strategy to support pupils who speak English as an additional language.
