What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 April 2024
Stanground St John's is a warm and welcoming school. There is a calm and purposeful atmosphere that reflects its ethos of 'love, joy and respect'. The school sets high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils live up to these expectations. They speak confidently about the work that they do in class. Pupils' positive attitudes to learning, and the pride that they take in their work, help them achieve well. Pupils appreciate the support they receive, which helps them to develop their knowledge and understanding. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They have strong relationships with staff. Pupils know that they can speak to staff when they have a worry. They trust staff to help them to resolve difficulties. Pupils are happy, safe and supported in school. Pupils can take part in a range of activities to broaden their experiences. Trips to places of interest, including the Houses of Parliament, help bring the curriculum to life. A range of after-school clubs help pupils to develop their interests and talents. Older pupils can take on some responsibilities in school. Currently, however, pupils have limited chances to develop their leadership skills.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum in some subjects is less established than in others. Where this is the case, teachers are less familiar with what pupils have learned before. Therefore, they do not plan learning that builds consistently well on pupils' prior knowledge. This means that pupils do not know and remember all the key knowledge that the school has identified. The school should ensure that, in all subjects, teachers have a secure understanding of pupils' previous learning and plan effectively to build on pupils' prior knowledge.
- Pupils have few opportunities to take on additional responsibilities outside of the classroom. This limits opportunities for pupils to develop further their confidence, resilience and independence. The school should increase opportunities for pupils to contribute positively to the school community and develop aspects of character such as confidence, resilience and independence.
