What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
Staverton Church of England School is a community where pupils and their families are welcomed. The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve well and increasingly they do so. Pupils are proud of their school and trust adults to help them to resolve their worries. Parents recognise the improvements that have been made at the school and are keen to support with its ongoing work. The school has high expectations for behaviour. Pupils are clear about the school rules and understand why they are important. On the rare occasion that behaviour is not acceptable there are clear consequences. Pupils then receive the support that they need to learn from the mistake and improve their behaviour. Consequently, the school is calm and pupils learn without disruption. A love of reading is at the heart of the school. Stories are used to help pupils learn about the school values and consider their own spirituality. Pupils are enthusiastic talking about the books that they are reading. Events, such as author visits and trips to museums, further help to bring the curriculum to life. Older pupils are role models for younger pupils. They take on additional responsibilities to help adults make the school a better place.
What the school should improve
- While assessment systems are in place, the information that these provide is not used effectively to review the curriculum and plan for improvements and adaptations. As a result, the gaps and misconceptions that pupils hold remain. The school should make sure that assessment information is used to accurately evaluate pupils' current understanding of the curriculum to inform future planning and curriculum development.
- At times, the school has not been clear about the intended impact of the changes that have been made. This means that leaders and those responsible for governance are unable to accurately review if decisions have had the desired impact. The school should ensure that that it is clear about the intention of actions taken and how the impact of that work will be evaluated to inform future leadership decisions.
