What Ofsted said about Chiltern Primary School
Overview
Chiltern Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The school fosters a strong sense of community where pupils and families are placed at the heart of its work, resulting in extremely positive relationships and high attendance.
Strengths
- There is a "strong sense of community" with families from diverse backgrounds encouraged to attend events, helping to "remove any barriers to attendance and learning."
- "Relationships between adults and pupils are extremely positive," with pupils behaving well and feeling safe due to staff responding quickly to worries.
- Attendance is "well above national and local levels," supported by a mantra that "attendance is an issue, never the issue" and practical solutions for families facing challenges.
- Pupils enjoy reading, with early readers becoming "fluent and confident" through daily support and enthusiastic exploration of shared texts.
- Personal development is a strength, with pupils demonstrating "deep understanding and respect for other cultures" and knowledge of staying safe from local issues like knife crime.
Areas to improve
- Pupils do not get sufficient opportunity to practise correct letter formation and spelling, leading to errors that are not addressed consistently, which hinders their readiness for written composition.
- Occasionally, exciting activities chosen by staff do not always help pupils focus on the important knowledge they are learning, though leaders are addressing this.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
