St Peter's CofE Primary and Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 March 2024

Pupils really like coming to St Peter's. Older pupils know how important it is to be positive role models for younger pupils. They take their responsibilities very seriously. They also know that the adults who work in school are key to their learning. In the words of one pupil, 'The teachers make our school special. They give up their time to take us to places and to do great things with us. It is like one big family.' Pupils are tolerant and respectful. They understand that other pupils may come from different family backgrounds or have different views. Pupils feel safe in school. They say that bullying is very rare but that they trust adults to deal with any fallouts quickly. They look forward to the many enrichment activities that help their learning and make them more resilient. Parents and carers are full of praise for the school. They value all it does to promote the academic excellence and social development of their children. A parent, who reflected the views of many, commented, 'I wouldn't choose to send my children anywhere else. All the staff care so deeply about them and that shows through everything that they do.'

What the school should improve

• Learning is not adapted sufficiently to enable some pupils to deepen their knowledge and understanding. As a result, these pupils do not build their knowledge as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that learning is adapted when necessary to ensure all pupils progress as well as possible through the curriculum.
