What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 July 2025
St Saviour's Church of England Primary is an inspirational and highly inclusive school. The school warmly welcomes all pupils. The school's values are embedded in all aspects of its work. They inspire pupils to care for and respect each other. Pupils enjoy attending school and readily rise to the school's high expectations for their conduct. They speak about how 'St Saviour's is like my second home'. The school has a dedicated and committed staff team that ensures that the quality of education pupils receive is effective. Pupils thrive in their learning, behave exceptionally, and achieve well. Children in the early years get off to a flying start, with a curriculum that supports their learning and development very well. The school provides a well-structured, wider curriculum. This includes many opportunities in art and sport as well as other extra-curricular experiences such as visits to several museums. These enable pupils to become well-rounded individuals. Pupils are proud representatives of the school. They are confident, articulate and reflective individuals who work in team situations very well. Pupils seize opportunities to be leaders in their school community, such as becoming school councillors, anti-bullying ambassadors and 'eco- warriors'. Pupils also benefit from a range of visitors representing the wider community.
What the school should improve
- The school's new approaches to support the learning of pupils with SEND are not fully embedded in practice. This results in some teaching not sufficiently adjusted to support these pupils to learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that its expectations for supporting pupils with SEND are consistently applied to support them to know and understand more.
- The school's attendance strategies are not reaching some pupils as well as others. Pupils for whom these strategies are not working continue to be absent from school and miss out on their learning as a result. The school should continue to refine and implement its strategies and approaches to ensure pupils attend school regularly.
