All Saints’ CofE School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders and governors have maintained a good standard of education.

Most pupils make good progress from their starting points and achieve well. Pupils are well cared for and are kept safe, they say that they feel secure and they know how to stay safe. A strong sense of inclusivity permeates the school.

Leaders' effective use of the pupil premium has resulted in there being little difference between the progress of disadvantaged pupils and that of their peers. The early years provides children in Nursery and Reception with a good start to their education. Staff focus well on helping children to develop good communication and language skill...s.

Pupils' skills in writing are much improved. Work to improve maths has begun, but there is still a lack of consistency in pupils being offered sufficient chances to reason and solve problems Pupils who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities, including those in the resource provision, receive specialist support that ensures that they make good progress. The behaviour of pupils is good.

They display lovely manners. They have respect, care for each other and are polite and friendly. The inclusive ethos that the governors and leaders have created plays a key role in the school's success and popularity with parents.

Teachers generally match work accurately to pupils' abilities, but occasionally work can lack challenge, especially for the most able. Leaders' monitoring of the quality of provision in English is rigorous and detailed. Subject leaders' skills in subjects such as history and geography still require further development, however.

The curriculum ensures that pupils gain a great deal from the many extra sporting, musical and artistic activities on offer.
