Overview: Pupils are happy and safe at Netheravon All Saints CofE Primary School, with most parents saying their child does well at the school. Pupils value their warm relationships with staff and feel able to talk to an adult if they are worried. The school has made improvements to its curriculum and teaching, with leaders having designed an ambitious curriculum for all pupils.

Strengths:

  • Leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum for all pupils, which is well sequenced and starts in the early years.
  • Leaders have made reading a priority, with pupils getting to know stories in depth and enjoying reading books together during daily story time.
  • Recent improvements have strengthened the support provided for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), with leaders identifying pupils' needs accurately and adapting the curriculum appropriately.
  • The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with pupils feeling safe and learning how to keep safe, including when they are online.

Areas to improve:

  • The curriculum does not make a strong enough contribution to some aspects of pupils' personal development, with some pupils not learning how to cooperate well or show sufficient respect to others.
  • In the early years, the curriculum does not always identify precisely enough what pupils should learn, resulting in younger pupils not acquiring detailed enough knowledge to prepare them well for some aspects of Year 1.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with pupils feeling safe and learning how to keep safe, including when they are online.

What the entrance test covers

The two Wiltshire (Salisbury) grammar schools test separately, both with GL Assessment papers but different structures: 1. Bishop Wordsworth's School (boys) — two papers of about 50 minutes: Verbal Skills (English + verbal reasoning) and Mathematics + Non-Verbal/Spatial Reasoning. Multiple-choice, held at the school in the second half of September. 2. South Wilts Grammar School (girls) — three papers in one sitting with breaks: Mathematics (50 minutes, Year 5 curriculum plus early Year 6), English (45 minutes — linguistic skills, comprehension, spelling, punctuation) and Verbal Reasoning (50 minutes). No non-verbal reasoning. Separate registrations with each school; results arrive in October. A child applying to a Salisbury school and e.g. a Hampshire/Dorset school will face different formats — prepare per school.
