Ofsted Insights

From Ofsted's November 2024 inspection report.

What This School Does Well

The school excels at teaching early reading and has made impressive improvements to pupil attendance. Children in the early years are well-prepared for their next stage of learning. Staff create a calm, positive learning environment where pupils behave well and feel confident asking for help with their worries.

Key Strengths

  • Strong teaching of early reading with precise instruction and regular support for weaker readers
  • Excellent behaviour and positive attitudes to learning throughout the school
  • Early years provision is well-tailored to meet all children's needs
  • Substantial improvement in pupil attendance over the past year
  • Pupils show patience and consideration towards each other

Areas for Improvement

  • Curriculum in some subjects does not address gaps in pupils' prior learning, making it difficult for pupils to access new content
  • Teachers do not consistently check pupils' understanding, leading to mistakes and gaps persisting in their work
  • Mathematics tasks often don't build on what pupils already know, particularly affecting pupils with SEND
  • Leadership processes are not yet embedded consistently across the school to ensure high-quality teaching

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with clear systems in place to keep pupils safe.

Extracurricular Activities

breakfast club, after-school club, assemblies, visits, workshops

Bletchingley Village Primary School, under new leadership, is raising expectations for all pupils including those with SEND. However, older pupils are not learning as well as they should because the curriculum is not taught well enough in some subjects.
