Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

This is a warm, caring school where every child is valued and supported. Staff expertly teach reading, writing and maths so pupils progress rapidly and achieve well above national standards. The school offers a wonderful range of clubs, sports, music and community activities that help pupils develop confidence, discover their talents, and become well-rounded young people.

Key Strengths

  • Exceptional attendance and behaviour, with pupils showing respect, care for each other and impeccable manners
  • Strong early years provision with highly trained staff who help children make rapid progress
  • Outstanding inclusion and support for pupils with additional needs and those who speak English as an additional language
  • Excellent personal development programme with rich opportunities for clubs, visits, community involvement and outdoor learning
  • Highly effective safeguarding culture where all staff take responsibility for pupil safety

Areas for Improvement

  • Some subjects other than English and mathematics do not have curriculum designs that support pupils to learn as well as they could
  • Assessment systems in non-core subjects are not as well developed, meaning teachers sometimes do not check pupils have secured important knowledge
  • Pupils sometimes struggle to connect earlier knowledge with current learning in some subjects
  • Governance checks to ensure pupils achieve well across all curriculum areas could be more robust

Safeguarding

Safeguarding standards are met - leaders and governors fulfil their responsibilities, have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, and as a result pupils are made safer and feel safe.

Extracurricular Activities

Sporting clubs, musical opportunities, creative clubs, scootering, climbing, running, trim trail activities, school council, reading ambassadors, outdoor play and learning ambassadors, eco council, visits to local care home, litter-picking duties, first-aid and resuscitation training

Chapelford Village Primary School is a happy and inclusive school where pupils thrive academically and personally. The school excels in reading, writing and mathematics, with pupils achieving standards significantly above national averages.
