All Saints CofE Primary School

Overview

All Saints CofE Primary School is described as a “friendly and welcoming” environment where pupils feel “safe and happy.” The report highlights a “broad and enriched education” with high expectations, resulting in good progress for most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, the early years provision requires improvement due to inconsistencies in curriculum design and learning outcomes.

Strengths

• Pupils are “courteous and kind,” benefiting from a curriculum that builds knowledge securely and promotes diversity through events like ‘international day’.
• Teachers possess “good subject knowledge” and present information clearly, helping pupils recall learning well and apply skills in subjects like science.
• The school offers extensive enrichment, including clubs, trips, and performing arts, fostering a “keen sense of responsibility” and preparing pupils for life in modern Britain.
• Staff feel “valued” and “appreciated,” with leaders providing high-quality professional development and considering workload seriously.
• Parents work in “active partnership” with the school, speaking highly of its pastoral care and the strong relationships established with families.

Areas to improve

• In the early years, the intended learning is sometimes unclear, and activities do not always build learning effectively, meaning some children are not making sufficient progress.
• Expectations for pupils with SEND are not consistently high, and support strategies are not routinely embedded, leaving some pupils overly reliant on adult support rather than developing independent confidence.

Safeguarding

The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
