Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
0.9/10 Well below average

211st of 215 primary schools in Leicestershire we can score, 231 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.0/10 against 2,068 of them, against 1.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about All Saints Church of England Primary School

Inspection report dated 19 June 2024

Overview

The report states that most pupils enjoy attending the school, citing strong relationships with staff and a "child-centred environment where pupils feel safe." However, it concludes that changes to the curriculum are "not having the impact the school desires," resulting in some pupils not learning as well as they should.

Strengths

  • Pupils benefit from a positive ethos where staff show "care and kindness," leading to good behaviour and effective management of low-level disruption.
  • Early years provision is praised, with children making a "strong start" through carefully planned learning and well-designed outdoor environments.
  • Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "well supported," with staff using consistent approaches to help them manage emotions and access the curriculum.
  • Staff well-being is prioritised, with leaders ensuring workload is "carefully considered" and staff feeling "proud to work at the school."

Areas to improve

  • The school must ensure "consistency and accuracy in the implementation of the phonics programme" so pupils become confident readers and can fully access the curriculum.
  • Leaders should ensure the curriculum "clearly defines the knowledge and skills pupils need to know and remember" across all subjects, not just mathematics.
  • Teachers must use assessment information to address knowledge gaps immediately, ensuring they "are not allowed to persist" and hinder progress.
  • The school needs to plan a "coherent, high-quality personal development curriculum" to better prepare pupils for life in modern Britain.

Safeguarding

The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
