Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary Church of England
7.3/10 Above average

14th of 156 primary schools in Somerset we can score, 219 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 3,204 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.7/10 among them, against 8.4/10 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 Church School

Inspection report dated 20 December 2024

Overview

All Saints Church School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The report describes a welcoming environment where pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are supported to become the best version of themselves. Staff and pupils share strong, caring relationships, resulting in high attendance and cheerful engagement with learning.

Strengths

  • The school fosters a "caring and warm" culture where pupils feel supported, with one noting, ‘Everyone is there for each other.’
  • Teachers follow the planned curriculum closely, explaining concepts clearly and checking retention, which supports pupils to "learn well."
  • The school has adapted effectively to a sharp rise in pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, providing targeted support and staff training.
  • Behaviour is well-managed following a revised policy, resulting in a "calm feel" and rare suspensions.
  • Reading is prioritised from the early years, with swift identification of those falling behind and a promotion of a "strong love of reading."

Areas to improve

  • On some occasions, teachers’ expectations are not high enough, giving tasks that do not match the "high ambition of the curriculum intent" or accepting work below pupils’ capabilities.
  • The trust should support teachers to consistently provide tasks that deepen knowledge and enable pupils to produce their best work.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
