What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 9 July 2024

Winterslow Church of England Primary School is a place where pupils 'explore, discover and sparkle'. Pupils enjoy coming to school and attend well. The 'gem' rewards motivate pupils to engage well with their learning. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Most pupils live up to these. Pupils have positive attitudes to learning and sustain their concentration well. Pupils benefit from the strong and caring relationships they have with adults in school. They trust adults to help them with any concerns. As a result, pupils are happy and feel safe. Pupils enjoy the regular opportunities to take part in sporting events. The school makes clear that participation in these events is as important as performance. Pupils receive rewards for showing respect and compassion in sport. The school supports pupils' wider development well. Pupils enjoy attending clubs including choir, eco and coding club. They deepen their curriculum knowledge through visits, for example to a Roman site. Pupils talk enthusiastically about their roles as school councillors and collective worship leaders. This gives them a voice within school and helps to develop pupils' character.

What the school should improve

  • In some wider curriculum subjects, the school has not identified the precise knowledge they want pupils to learn. This means there are gaps in what pupils know and remember. The trust needs to ensure that the key knowledge that pupils need to learn is precisely defined and gaps in knowledge are addressed.
  • In some wider curriculum subjects, the learning provided for some pupils does not help them to build their knowledge well. The trust needs to ensure that teachers are supported to develop their subject knowledge to design purposeful learning that supports all pupils to build knowledge well over time.
