What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 January 2023
Pupils at Temple Sutton are happy and feel safe in school. They learn in a warm, caring and calm environment. They establish highly respectful relationships with each other. Pupils' behaviour is good and relationships in the school are very positive. Pupils have opportunities to take responsibility. They talk with pride about the process of becoming part of the school or eco council. They enjoy making plans to improve the school further. Pupils value the support that they receive from playground buddies. These pupils help them if they feel lonely or worried. Large numbers of pupils join and leave the school mid-year. These pupils make strong gains in their learning from when they join the school. They learn well because leaders are ambitious for them. Pupils respond by engaging in their learning and working hard. Bullying is rare. If it does happen pupils know that staff deal with it quickly. Pupils know that there are many adults who they can go to if they need support. Pupils behave well because adults have high expectations of their behaviour. They listen to their teachers and are keen to learn. They respond well to the consistent routines that teachers put in place.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not clearly identified the important knowledge, including vocabulary, that pupils need to learn and when. Teachers then do not have information on what pupils need to know or which aspects of learning to assess. As a result, pupils do not learn or remember what leaders intend them to learn. Leaders should ensure that in all subjects, they identify the important knowledge pupils need to learn and when it should be taught, including in the early years.
