What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 May 2022
Whitminster Church of England Endowed Primary School has a warm and caring ethos. Values such as perseverance and kindness are at the centre of school life. Pupils respond well to this and like to look after each other. They talk positively about school. Teachers make sure that all pupils are supported well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They set challenging work that pupils find interesting. There is a productive 'buzz' in lessons. Teachers have high expectations of all pupils. They help pupils to build secure knowledge and understanding in a range of subjects. Pupils learn to read well and develop a good foundation in mathematics. In a small number of subjects, the curriculum is not thought out as well. Pupils feel safe and happy at this school. They behave well and say that bullying almost never happens. If they are worried, they trust adults to help them sort things out. Pupils appreciate the support that adults give them.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is not designed as well as it is in others. The curriculum in these subjects does not set out exactly what core knowledge and concepts pupils must know, and by when. This means pupils do not develop a strong and consistent body of knowledge. Leaders must make sure that the curriculum design sets out exactly what pupils must know, and at what points, in all subjects.
- On occasion, when some pupils are learning to read, adults do not know when best to step in and support if the pupil is struggling. At these times, pupils do not practise reading and develop fluency as well as they could. Leaders need to ensure all adults have the expertise to provide high-quality support to all pupils.
