Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
There is a strong sense of community at Chiltern Primary School. The school place pupils and their families at the heart of their work. Families from different cultures, faiths and backgrounds are encouraged to attend regular school events, such as the 'cook together, eat together' sessions. Staff work effectively with parents and carers to build positive relationships. This helps to remove any barriers to attendance and learning and to support pupils to meet the school's high expectations.
Relationships between adults and pupils are extremely positive. Pupils enjoy attending this inclusive and welcoming school. They behave well during lessons and around the school site. Staff respond quickly if pupils have any worries. This helps pupils feel safe. Pupils value the importance of kindness and tolerance. They support each other and help those who are new to their school. Pupils regularly volunteer to do jobs around school because they want to be helpful.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has high expectations and drive for continued improvement over time. This ensures that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are ready for the next stage of their education. Some published outcomes in national assessments are low. This is because many pupils join or leave the school partway through their education. Pupils who attend Chiltern Primary School from early years to the end of key Stage 2 achieve well.
Pupils enjoy reading. Staff promote this well through enthusiastic exploration of shared class texts. Pupils at the early stages of reading are well supported. Children begin to learn phonics as soon as they start in the Reception Year. Most pupils quickly become fluent and confident readers. Well-trained adults provide daily support for those who are struggling to keep up.
