What This School Does Well
The school creates a calm, respectful learning environment with strong behaviour management and excellent pastoral care. Staff model positive attitudes and pupils benefit from many leadership opportunities that make them feel valued. Early years teaching is particularly strong, with skilled staff developing children's vocabulary and early reading skills from the start.
Key Strengths
- Behaviour and attitudes are good - classrooms are calm with consistent discipline and clear routines
- Early years provision is good with strong focus on communication, language and phonics
- Excellent pastoral support and safeguarding - daily well-being checks and pupils feel safe sharing worries
- Strong personal development - pupils understand British values, world faiths and online safety
- Good attendance with high expectations and robust monitoring strategies
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching quality is inconsistent - some staff do not check closely enough on pupil learning or provide tasks to deepen understanding
- Reading and mathematics performance is too low at end of key stage 2 with weak improvement plans
- Some pupils' reading books are too difficult for them and don't match the letter sounds they know
- Strategic planning does not address the most important areas for development sufficiently
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with staff carrying out daily well-being checks and providing high-quality pastoral support.
Extracurricular Activities
Rights respecting ambassadors club, quiet and relaxing lunchtime activities club, The Nest programme for pupils with SEND
Blaby Stokes Church of England Primary School requires improvement overall, though behaviour and personal development are good. While the school has made improvements since the previous inspection, too many pupils do not achieve well enough in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of key stage 2.
