North Wheatley Church of England Primary School

Overview: North Wheatley Church of England Primary School provides a culture of high expectations for all its pupils, with a curriculum that helps them feel inspired and develop their talents and interests. However, the school's expectations for pupils' behaviour and conduct are not fully realised, and some pupils worry about their peers' conduct during social times.

Strengths:

• The school curriculum is ambitious and well sequenced to help pupils build their knowledge over time.
• Pupils benefit from extra-curricular opportunities that develop their talents and interests, and their cultural awareness.
• The school ensures that pupils with SEND are identified promptly and provided with appropriate support, including adaptations to resources and equipment.
• The school's personal development programme is well considered, and pupils talk confidently about their physical and mental health, and show respect and tolerance towards different communities in society.
• The school uses a wide range of information to understand the patterns and trends in pupils' attendance, leading to some changes in the school's systems that are starting to have a positive impact.

Areas to improve:

• Pupils' attitudes and conduct vary during the school day, and the school's expectations in relation to pupils' behaviour are not implemented routinely, resulting in lost learning time and some pupils worrying about their peers' conduct during social times.
• The school must ensure that staff expectations of pupils' behaviour are consistently high and procedures to manage pupils' behaviour are used systematically so pupils behave well throughout the school day.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
