What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 November 2023
St Saviour's is a small friendly school with the community at its heart. Parents and carers hold the school in high regard. One parent's comment, typical of many, was that 'the school offers a very nurturing and safe environment'. Pupils feel safe and are welcoming and polite to visitors. The school has high expectations for all pupils' academic achievement and behaviour. Leaders and staff work together to meet the needs of all pupils well, including those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils try their best in lessons, and their behaviour is exemplary. They listen carefully to each other and are keen to build on, agree or challenge respectfully what others contribute. The school focuses on rewarding positive behaviour and celebrating pupils' success. Pupils enjoy taking on responsibility. This includes through their roles as charity committee members and Year 6 buddies for Reception children. Pupils also take pride in representing the views of their class at school council meetings. Pupils' experiences are enriched beyond the academic curriculum. Pupils have regular opportunities to perform and watch performances. For example, pupils showcase their talents, such as in maypole dancing, singing, piano and violin, at the expressive arts open house event. The school organises for inspiring visitors to speak at the school. For instance, a world record marathon runner recently visited to speak about the importance of keeping healthy.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school has not consistently ensured that the intended curriculum is fully embedded in the classroom. As a result, there are gaps in what some pupils know and can remember with fluency. The school should continue to support and develop subject leaders' and teachers' work to check and embed pupils' understanding of the planned curriculum.
