What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 November 2023
Sutton Benger Primary School has a warm, inclusive ethos. Staff create an atmosphere where pupils feel valued and listened to. Pupils know they can talk to a trusted adult if they have a problem. Pupils' attitudes reflect the school's values of forgiveness, respect, perseverance, integrity, responsibility and compassion. Pupils believe everyone should be welcomed and treated equally. They feel safe at school. Staff expectations of pupils' behaviour are high. Pupils behave well around the school and in lessons. Staff sensitively help pupils manage anxieties and behaviour. They promote pupils' health and well-being, including those with additional needs. Pupils say if bullying happens, they are confident adults sort it out quickly. Pupils are happy and want to do well. They concentrate on learning in class. There is little distraction. Pupils have a range of opportunities to develop interests outside the classroom. This includes a variety of clubs such as sports, music and team activities. Pupils enjoy leadership responsibilities as worship leaders and as buddies to younger children. They play a full part in the life of the school and the community. Many parents are supportive of the school. They praise the commitment and dedication staff provide.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not identified the important content it wants pupils to know and remember. This limits pupils' learning. The school should ensure that the curriculum identifies the knowledge and vocabulary that pupils are expected to know and remember.
- The school does not use assessment well across all subjects. The school should improve how well staff assess the progress that pupils make against the knowledge identified in curriculum plans and use this information productively to inform future planning.
