What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 April 2023

Wouldham All Saints Primary is a school where pupils feel welcome and secure. Staff and pupils' relationships are strong and built on trust and respect for one another. Pupils feel safe and they are happy. If there is any bullying, it is stopped quickly. Staff support pupils to do their best. Pupils want to do well and are attentive in lessons. They behave well in and around the school and look after each other. Pupils are proud of their extra roles and responsibilities. Pupils enjoy the range of activities offered to them. They particularly enjoy trips and visits to places in the locality and wider afield. There is an extensive offer of clubs and sports sessions. Pupils, parents and carers appreciate these opportunities. All pupils are enabled to take part as leaders support those who are disadvantaged with transport. Pupils of all ages develop independence and resilience. Leaders want pupils to aim high. However, in some subjects, pupils find it hard to remember what they have learned and have gaps in their knowledge. Leaders recognise this and are acting upon it. Provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) helps them to access the learning and achieve well.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders have not set out key knowledge and skills precisely enough in a few subjects. As a result, teachers plan learning based on activities rather than the key knowledge that pupils need to know and remember over time. Leaders need to ensure that intended key knowledge and skills are clearly understood by all staff in all subjects.
  • In a minority of subjects, teachers do not assess what pupils know and remember precisely enough. This means that some gaps in pupils' learning are not addressed swiftly. Leaders should ensure that teachers are able and confident to assess what pupils know, and therefore adapt activities to meet pupils' needs.
