What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 March 2025
Pupils love coming to Stretton St Matthew's. They arrive each morning keen to see what the day has to offer. Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and caring. Pupils show high levels of respect towards others. They enact the school's values of 'work together, aim high, shine bright'. Pupils are rightly proud of their school. Pupils are encouraged to try their very best to succeed. The school has very high expectations of pupils' conduct and learning. From the early years upwards, children and pupils are highly attentive in class and demonstrate very positive attitudes to learning. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, achieve exceptionally well. They leave Year 6 very well prepared for secondary school. Pupils enjoy choosing from the wide range of clubs on offer. These include Spanish, fencing, growing minds and football. Cookery club is especially popular. Pupils enjoy taking seasonal food home to share with their families. Older pupils are proud to carry out their leadership roles. For instance, the school's librarians eagerly organise the library. In addition, the school council led the school's anti-bullying week activities.
What the school should improve
- In some areas of learning in the early years, staff are less confident in supporting children's learning. This means that some children do not learn as much as they could in these areas of learning. The school should ensure that staff receive the guidance that they need so that they have the knowledge and confidence to deliver all areas of learning equally well.
