Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

The school has effective safeguarding systems in place where pupils feel safe and adults take concerns seriously. Pupils learn about different cultures and faiths, helping them understand modern Britain. The school promotes positive relationships on the playground and teaches pupils about bullying and online safety.

Key Strengths

  • Safeguarding standards are met with an open culture where concerns are actively identified and managed
  • Pupils learn about different cultures, faiths and fundamental British values
  • Bullying is not typically an issue and older pupils play positively with younger pupils

Areas for Improvement

  • Pupils do not achieve well and lack age-appropriate knowledge and skills across all subjects
  • Teaching quality is poor with inconsistent approaches to basic skills like phonics and handwriting
  • Attendance is too high, with persistent absence affecting pupils' progress
  • Support for pupils with special educational needs is inadequate and ineffective
  • Behaviour management is inconsistent, with some pupils disrupting lessons and staff feeling unsupported

Safeguarding

Safeguarding standards are met with leaders establishing an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils are made safer and feel safe.

Extracurricular Activities

School council, playground leaders, librarians, visits to local church

Ashleworth Church of England Primary School requires special measures due to failing to provide an acceptable standard of education. Leaders and those responsible for governance are not demonstrating the capacity to secure necessary improvement.
