What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 February 2024
Pupils describe St Peter's Church of England Primary School as being kind and caring. This is reflected in their positive attitudes to learning and excellent conduct. Pupils welcome those who are new to the school in a warm and friendly way. They are proud of their school and want everyone to feel part of the school team. Pupils know why it is important to respect others, regardless of their background. They fulfil this responsibility with diligence to make the school a happy and safe place for all. The school wants the best for all pupils. It has high expectations for pupils, and staff ensure that pupils strive to meet these. Pupils know that only their best effort is good enough. Consequently, they achieve well. Parents and carers are rightly proud of the way the school supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They praise the school for the tenacious approach that it shows towards securing the support that pupils need. This includes ensuring that all pupils can benefit from the wider offer, including a wide range of extra- curricular clubs.
What the school should improve
- Due to the limitations of the previous curriculum in some subjects, some pupils have gaps in their learning. Assessment strategies are in development but do not consistently identify the learning that pupils should revisit. The school should ensure that assessment strategies are in place to identify any gaps in pupils' knowledge, so they are more able to link new learning to what they already know.
