What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 June 2024

Terrington St Clement Community School is a warm and welcoming place where everyone is valued. It is a kind, caring and fun school to attend. Pupils understand the high standards of behaviour the school has set. As a result, pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. The school deals with rare instances of poor behaviour in class quickly and decisively. Pupils know that they are valued. Staff provide high-quality pastoral care. This helps pupils feel safe and happy. The school sets high expectations for what it wants pupils to achieve in lessons. Pupils are immersed in an exciting curriculum that often considers 'The big questions'. They rise to the challenges set such as when learning about persuasive writing in Year 3 and Year 4. Pupils play an active part in their school life. Their opinions are sought and valued, for example pupils were consulted about the arrangements for football at breaktime so that all could play. Pupils are keen and proud to take on leadership roles, such as school ambassadors for reading, mathematics, health and sports. This develops their ability to take responsibility and support other pupils. Pupils have access to a wide range of clubs.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, teachers do not check what pupils already know in enough depth. This means that staff do not always know where there are gaps in knowledge or misconceptions. As a result, teaching is not adapted to address these gaps and pupils' learning is not secure. The school needs to ensure that staff are trained to use assessment effectively in all subjects and use these assessments to adapt their teaching accordingly.
