St Saviours Infant Church School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 June 2022

St Saviours Church School is a warm and welcoming place to learn. Pupils enjoy school. They talk positively about the school's values and how they feel part of one family. Leaders encourage pupils to take on responsible roles, such as school councillors and OPAL (outdoor play and learning) ambassadors. Pupils become more confident and independent and like these special jobs. Leaders and staff create an environment where all pupils feel listened to and valued. Pupils know that adults will help them if they have any worries. Relationships between staff and pupils are supportive and caring. Pupils behave well. Bullying and unkind behaviour are rare. Pupils say every adult listens to them and will sort out any concerns. As a result, they feel safe in school. Leaders place a strong emphasis on supporting pupils' social and emotional well- being. Through carefully planned assemblies and visitors to the school, pupils learn how to stay safe and build healthy relationships. Staff expect pupils to behave well and they do. Parents and carers support the school's work. Many praise the dedication of staff. One typical comment from a parent was, 'The school is compassionate, communicative and warm.'

What the school should improve

• Leaders do not ensure that assessment is used consistently well enough to check what pupils know in all subjects. As a result, in some subjects, pupils develop gaps in their knowledge. Leaders must ensure that assessment is used consistently well in all areas of the curriculum.
