Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary Church of England
7.5/10 Above average

11th of 31 primary schools in Sutton we can score, 41 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 3,004 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.1/10 among them, against 8.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

What Ofsted said about All Saints Carshalton Church of England Primary School

Inspection report dated 27 November 2024

Overview

All Saints Carshalton Church of England Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The report describes a welcoming community where pupils are happy, behave well, and achieve high standards, particularly in reading and mathematics. Staff deliver a well-designed curriculum that prepares pupils effectively for secondary school.

Strengths

  • Pupils are "happy and proud" to be part of the school, demonstrating kindness and respect for others.
  • The curriculum is "well designed and rich," with learning carefully sequenced to build knowledge in subjects like Spanish and music.
  • Reading teaching has improved significantly, with staff using a "consistent approach" and providing effective support for weaker readers.
  • Staff are well trained, present content clearly, and check pupils’ understanding carefully to address misconceptions.
  • An extensive enrichment programme allows pupils to explore interests, including sports, chess, and musical ensembles.

Areas to improve

  • Some pupils do not receive sufficient practice and support for specific writing skills, such as spelling and handwriting, which hinders their fluency and learning.
  • Teaching is not always adapted well enough to meet the needs of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), causing some to struggle with classwork.
