What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
Pupils are well cared for at Tittensor C of E First School. They are met with smiles and warm greetings by staff and leaders every day. Pupils are happy and attend school regularly. Pupils accurately display the school's values of 'love, faith and hope'. Pupils are taught how to show acts of kindness. Staff and pupils are kind to each other as a result. Pupils talk about the Parable of the Good Samaritan in the bible. They are eager to receive the weekly Good Samaritan Certificate for showing care and love to one another. Leaders and staff have high expectations for what pupils can achieve. The work pupils produce shows how they rise to these expectations. Pupils take pride in the presentation of their work. They do not give up easily when they find learning challenging. They always seek ways to improve their work further. Pupils' mental health and well-being are top priority. Pupils know who to speak to if they have worries or concerns. All pupils are taught different ways to manage their thoughts and emotions. Leaders know each pupil's strengths and what they may need further support with. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the education and care their children receive at this school.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not identified the key component knowledge and vocabulary they want pupils to learn in a small number of subjects. Pupils' knowledge is not built on over time in these subjects as a result. Leaders should ensure that they identify the specific knowledge and vocabulary they want pupils to learn and remember over time in these subjects.
- Leaders' use of assessment is not precise enough in a small number of subjects. They do not have a clear enough understanding about what pupils know and remember in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that they can accurately assess pupils' knowledge in all subjects.
- Learning plan targets for pupils with SEND are too broad. Staff do not break down broad aims into small, achievable steps as a result. Leaders should ensure that staff can support pupils with SEND to be as successful as they can be.
