Winsford High Street Community Primary School

Overview: Winsford High Street Community Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy coming to school and feel happy and safe. The school provides a wide range of opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests beyond the academic curriculum.

Strengths:

• Pupils feel happy and safe because they know that staff genuinely care about them.
• Leaders have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
• Pupils are polite and welcoming to visitors, and behaviour in lessons and around the school is calm.
• Leaders provide a wide variety of opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests beyond the academic curriculum.
• The school's safeguarding arrangements are effective.

Areas to improve:

• Leaders' checks on the quality and delivery of the curriculum in a small number of subjects are underdeveloped.
• Leaders do not fully identify where teachers' subject knowledge requires strengthening or where the curriculum is not being implemented as effectively as it could be.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Leaders have made sure that there is a strong culture of safeguarding at the school, and staff have regular safeguarding training and updates.
