Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils love attending St Andrew's Southgate. As soon as they start in Reception, they are well cared for and encouraged to look after each other. The school's values of compassion, service, peace, thankfulness, stewardship, and justice are demonstrated in the positive relationships between pupils and staff.
Leaders and staff at all levels have high expectations for all pupils, and as a result, published outcomes show that most pupils progress and achieve well at all ages. Pupils learn clear routines for behaviour inside the classroom and around the school. Their behaviour is excellent. This results in a harmonious community, where pupils are kept safe and are happy.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Reading is at the heart of the curriculum. The teaching of phonics is mostly consistent, and leaders have ensured that staff who teach phonics have regular training. Staff use assessment well to check pupils' understanding. When staff spot that a pupil is falling behind with their reading, they put in place extra help for them to catch up. These activities help pupils to close gaps in phonics knowledge. As a result, most pupils learn to read well. However, the provision for a small number of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and some of the weakest readers need further sharpening. This will allow them to catch up with their peers more quickly. Pupils develop a love of reading and read with age-appropriate levels of fluency and expression. In all years, pupils get plenty of practice with books that match their skills. Pupils broaden their vocabulary and comprehension skills through the wide selection of books in the library and diverse core texts in lessons.
