What This School Does Well

Hindley All Saints provides excellent teaching, especially in phonics and literacy, helping pupils reach above-average standards. The school creates a safe, welcoming environment where all pupils - including those eligible for free school meals and those with special needs - are supported to make good progress. Strong leadership and consistent behaviour policies mean there is very little disruption to learning, and pupils feel valued and treated fairly.

Key Strengths

  • Pupils make good progress from their starting points, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs
  • Standards at the end of Year 6 are above average in reading, writing and mathematics
  • Teaching of phonics is particularly well organised and effective
  • Adults apply behaviour policy consistently so pupils know what is expected and learning is rarely disrupted
  • Pupils feel safe and relationships are excellent with very little bullying

Areas for Improvement

  • The most able pupils in Years 1 to 5 do not always receive sufficiently challenging tasks and activities to help them progress as much as they could
  • Attendance is below average, partly because some families take holidays during school term time
  • Writing opportunities across the wider curriculum are not as well-established as reading opportunities

Safeguarding

The school's work to keep pupils safe and secure is good, with pupils reporting very little bullying and teachers dealing with any incidents appropriately.

Hindley All Saints CofE Primary School is a good school where pupils make good progress from their starting points, with standards above average in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6.
