What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 March 2022
Pupils say they feel safe and happy at this small primary school. Pupils know that adults care about them, and this helps pupils to feel safe. They also achieve well, despite the challenges of the pandemic. The school's remote learning offer was thorough and supportive. Leaders have high expectations for the pupils at Teversham and are working hard to ensure that the full curriculum is taught again now that all pupils are back in school. There is a strong Christian ethos at the school which permeates leaders' expectations for pupils and the school's values. A clear focus on respect is evident. Pupils are also tolerant and caring towards one another both in class and when moving around the site. Behaviour around the school and in lessons is good. Breaktimes are orderly yet relaxed. Pupils enjoy the school's large outdoor spaces and spending time with their friends. Bullying is very rare and is dealt with quickly should it happen. Pupils understand what bullying is, including online and prejudice-based bullying. They know what to do and who to talk to if they are concerned. A range of clubs and other activities are available for pupils to access. These support pupils' wider and personal development well and are appreciated by them.
What the school should improve
- The assessment of pupils' current work in subjects other than English and mathematics is not as strong as it is in those two core subjects. As a result, work does not always match closely to the needs of all groups of pupils. Leaders should ensure that assessment in these subjects is used more effectively to ensure that teachers match work well to the needs of the pupils they teach.
