Viscount Beaumont's Church of England Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 October 2023

Pupils are incredibly proud of their school. As one pupil said, 'It's small but mighty.' The school's expectations of pupils are clear and well understood, 'All can participate, all can enjoy, and all can achieve.' Pupils understand these expectations and strive to live up to them. They talk about these aims with gusto. Relationships are positive. As one pupil commented: 'Everyone knows each other. We like being together and learning together.' Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are highly courteous and well mannered. They do their best to 'be a star, first time, every time, everywhere, everyone'. This is borne out in lessons, where pupils are highly attentive and work hard. Around school, they are proud of their 'fantastic walking'. The 'STEP' acronym reminds them of what constitutes good manners. They use it well. Pupils are prepared well for life in modern Britain. They know that everyone must be treated equally, even if their views differ from their own. They say that everyone is welcome at their school, regardless of background, religion or belief. Older pupils know the full range of protected characteristics and what these mean in law.

What the school should improve

• In a small number of subjects, pupils do not remember what they have learned as well as they should. This means that their knowledge does not build consistently over time. Leaders should ensure that all pupils, across all subjects, consistently know and remember curriculum content.
