What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 June 2023
Uppingham Church of England Primary school is a nurturing and caring school. Parents speak highly about the support the school provides for their children, particularly parents of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can achieve and of how they should conduct themselves. Most pupils meet these expectations. Pupils understand the school's rules of being 'ready, respectful and safe'. They say the rules help them to understand how they should behave. They enjoy learning in calm and orderly classrooms. Pupils feel safe. There are positive relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils say that teachers support and help them well if needed. Pupils get along well together. They enjoy doing lots of different activities at playtime and lunchtime. Pupils have lots of opportunities to take part in clubs. Many pupils attend these. For example, they go to football, netball, gardening club and choir. Leaders have ensured that pupils get support for their well-being if needed. Pupils can go to 'chatty club' and 'calm club' to help them to deal with any worries. Pupils say that this helps them. Some pupils are 'well-being buddies', who also support pupils if needed.
What the school should improve
- The use of assessment in some foundation subjects is at an early stage. Teachers do not always use assessment well in these subjects to check what pupils have learned. As a result, some pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that teachers use the assessment methods leaders have set out, to address gaps in learning or misconceptions.
- Some teachers do not consistently insist that pupils use correct punctuation and grammar. This means that some pupils make repeated punctuation and grammar errors and do not achieve as well in writing as they could. Leaders should ensure that all teachers address any punctuation and grammar errors, so that pupils' writing is of a high quality.
