What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 April 2024
St Peter's CofE Primary school is a successful, well-led school where pupils and staff flourish. In the words of one of the parents, 'St Peter's is a caring and nurturing learning environment where every pupil matters.' Pupils are happy and enjoy coming to school. Staff know the pupils exceptionally well. Nurturing relationships, alongside high expectations, ensure that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They live up to the high expectations that staff have for them. Pupils feel that school is safe and free from bullying. Pupils agree that there is always someone to look after them. The extra-curricular activities on offer are impressive and are evidence that staff believe in 'opening doors with learning, faith and care'. Pupils can take part in cricket, gardening, musical theatre and many more clubs. Pupils also have the opportunity to participate in social action projects, which enable them to work collaboratively, creating thoughtful solutions to local or national issues. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school. One parent summed up the views of many when they said, 'I am proud that my children are part of this school.'
What the school should improve
- The school has not clearly defined the specific knowledge they want pupils to know about some aspects of British values, such as the rule of law and individual liberty. This means that pupils' understanding of some British values is not as strong as it could be. Leaders should ensure that they make clear the important knowledge they want pupils to learn about all aspects of British values.
