St Margaret's CofE Primary School

Overview: St Margaret's CofE Primary School is a good school where pupils enjoy being part of a friendly school community, and leaders and staff build trusting relationships with them. The school's values of respect, friendship, resilience, teamwork, kindness and love are at the heart of everything it does.

Strengths:

• Pupils have positive attitudes to learning and work hard in lessons.
• Pupils know that teachers want them to succeed, and they try hard to rise to this.
• The school's values of respect, friendship, resilience, teamwork, kindness and love are at the heart of everything it does.
• Pupils can explain why these values are important to school life.
• The school's personal development is strong, with pupils practising collaboration and communication skills, developing confidence and resilience well.

Areas to improve:

• Not all teachers adapt the curriculum so that it meets the needs of all pupils closely enough.
• In a few subjects, some pupils are not given the support they need to progress through the planned curriculum.
• Leaders must ensure that the curriculum is sufficiently adapted to enable all pupils to achieve well from their different starting points.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders having embedded a culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, and pupils' welfare and pastoral needs are met very well.
