What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
Pupils are happy at this kind and caring school. Parents and carers are grateful for the care and support their children receive. Stottesdon is a small school with a big heart. Pupils learn the importance of caring for their environment. They are 'agents of change', determined to offer their support to those who need their help. The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve well. Many are ready for the next stages of their education. They learn the necessary skills and knowledge to enable them to be successful when they leave this school. Pupils understand how to keep themselves safe online and offline. They report concerns to trusted adults should they need support. They behave well in class and play kindly with each other at breaktimes. Older pupils support the running of the school. When children in the early years arrive at school, older pupils escort them to their classrooms. Pupils are eager to talk about the range of exciting opportunities they are offered to develop their talents and interests. Pupils enjoy visiting places linked to their learning because this helps bring learning to life. A highlight for many is their trip to London. They visit museums, theatres and famous landmarks, many for the first time.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils at the early stages of writing do not form letters or punctuate sentences correctly. Some more established writers are not being supported to apply their grammar, punctuation or spelling knowledge accurately. This means that some pupils are unable to write fluently, while others do not consolidate important writing skills. The school should support all pupils to write to the best of their abilities to enable them to communicate their learning effectively.
- The school has not ensured that some teaching consistently addresses the gaps and misconceptions in pupils' knowledge and understanding. This means that some pupils continue to make the same mistakes and form misconceptions that persist. This affects how well pupils achieve. The school should ensure that gaps and errors in pupils' understanding are addressed systematically to enable pupils to gain a secure understanding of their learning.
