About Lady Seaward’s Church of England Primary School
The school works hard to support academic success while also excellently fostering their personal growth.
The values of compassion, aspiration and resilience run like a golden thread through every aspect of the school. Children learn to be kind and thoughtful right from the start in the early years.
Older pupils provide very positive role models for younger children. The environment that this creates helps pupils to do well academically and to become confident and compassionate young people.
Parents and carers are extremely positive about Lady Seaward's.
They value the school's commitment to the ...care and well-being of their children. Parents appreciate the supportive, family atmosphere and know that staff will always make time to listen to them. Pupils behave well in and around the school, treating everyone with courtesy and respect.
Lady Seaward's school is committed to providing the highest quality of care and education. Staff work tirelessly to improve the curriculum and ensure that activities interest the pupils. As a result, pupils enjoy their lessons and say that teachers make their learning fun.
Pupils enjoy coming to school. Pupils typically achieve well across the curriculum. This prepares most pupils well for the next stage in their education.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has developed a well-thought-out curriculum that is well delivered by staff. The clear, step-by-step approach identifies precisely what pupils need to learn as they move through the school. Activities are carefully thought out so that they interest and enthuse the pupils.
As a result, the youngest children talk excitedly about the stories they are learning while older pupils are enthusiastic about the issues that they debate. This, together with the good subject knowledge of staff, is enabling pupils to know and remember more of the knowledge they need to learn. This prepares most pupils well for the next stage in their education.
Most pupils are well supported to become confident readers and writers. Staff have a good understanding of how pupils learn to read and write. They use this well to support pupils to learn phonics and the basics of writing.
For example, the school teaches pupils to read and write words at the same time This helps pupils to understand the link between reading words carefully and spelling them accurately when writing them down. For a small number of pupils, some reading and writing activities are too complicated. This means they do not get the time they need to secure the basics before they move on to the next stage.
These pupils struggle to become fluent readers and writers because they cannot quickly recall the basic information they need.
Children in the Nursery and Reception classes are well looked after. The school has a good understanding of the needs of the youngest children and ensures that they are well cared for.
For example, the school works closely with parents and carers when children are toilet training. Children do well in the early years because of the good relationships that staff establish with them.
The school's increased focus on the key information that pupils need to learn and remember is making it easier for staff to identify and support pupils who need extra help.
As a result, staff are beginning to adapt how they deliver the curriculum to ensure all pupils learn the key information they need. This means that disadvantaged pupils, including those with special educational needs and/ or disabilities (SEND), receive the support they need to do well.
The school's values of compassion, aspiration and resilience run through the heart of the school.
Pupils know that the school wants them all to do as well as possible in both their academic and personal development. The school successfully promotes and celebrates good behaviour. Pupils behave well in and around the school and are attentive in lessons.
The school carefully monitors pupils' attendance to ensure that they attend school regularly.
The school's approach to pupils' personal development is praiseworthy. The school carefully considers how to support every aspect of pupils' personal growth.
This highly effective approach begins in the Nursery class, where the youngest children are thoughtfully supported by gentle routines that help them to develop friendships and get on well with each other. This builds in a wide number of ways as pupils get older, for example by identifying moments to pause and consider the awe and wonder of the world around them, or by having whole-school responsibilities such as being a mental health ambassador.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
What does the school need to do to improve?
(Information for the school and appropriate authority)
• The school does not ensure that all pupils become fluent in the basics of English and mathematics. This means that a small number of pupils do not develop secure enough knowledge to be ready for the next stage of their education. The trust should ensure that every child gains the basic knowledge they need to quickly become fluent in reading, writing and mathematics.
