What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 April 2025
Wreningham VC Primary is a highly inclusive school and is a happy place to learn. Everybody is welcome and looked after. The school has a simple motto of TEAM 'Together Everybody Achieves More'. This motto is lived out by staff and pupils alike. Pupils say they love coming to school because they learn lots of exciting things. They also said that the teachers care for them really well. This helps them a lot. Many pupils achieve well. This is because the school has crafted a challenging curriculum. Year 6 published outcomes indicate that pupils achieve positively in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils develop their leadership skills and character. This helps to prepare them for their next steps. Pupil leadership roles, such as eco warriors, peer mediators and lunchtime supervisors, give pupils opportunities to contribute to their school community. Pupils are exceptionally well behaved. They know what is right and wrong. Pupils are polite and respectful of other people. They display positive attitudes to their learning. This is because the school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils readily rise to these expectations. Older pupils often support younger pupils with kindness. This reflects the caring culture that the school has established.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the school has not clearly identified the knowledge that pupils need to learn in each year group. This means that pupils have some gaps in their subject knowledge. The school should ensure that it identifies the essential knowledge that pupils should learn for all subjects in each year group.
