Worle Village Primary School

Overview: Worle Village Primary School is a good school that provides a caring, nurturing, and family atmosphere for its pupils. The school promotes high expectations for all, and pupils are confident young learners who engage well in lessons and value the encouragement and support provided by staff.

Strengths:

• Pupils enjoy a caring, nurturing, family atmosphere at the school.
• Positive relationships and consistent expectations help all pupils to respond well to adults and to each other.
• The school's curriculum includes memorable activities that develop pupils' confidence, character, and understanding of how the world works.
• Subject leaders are passionate about the subjects they lead and support teachers well.
• Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are included in all aspects of school life and are supported well by teachers and teaching assistants.

Areas to improve:

• In some foundation subjects, pupils are not able to explain how their current learning links to previous content in that subject.
• Pupils who need to catch up are sometimes given broad targets that are actually more about what help they need, rather than about exactly what they need to improve.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture of safeguarding, pupils feeling safe, and safeguarding leaders being experienced and knowledgeable.
