Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

St Anne's is a welcoming and inclusive school where pupils feel safe and valued. The school excels at making learning special through engaging teaching and enriching experiences like educational trips. Staff go above and beyond to support all pupils, particularly those needing additional help with their learning, behaviour and emotional wellbeing.

Key Strengths

  • Strong teaching in early years and phonics, with above-average attainment in reading, writing and mathematics across both key stages
  • Effective support for pupils' behaviour and emotional wellbeing through parent-link worker and pupil mentor
  • Rich, engaging curriculum with trips that enhance learning, such as visiting Brunel's bridges and Concorde
  • Supportive and approachable staff who are well-respected by parents
  • Effective safeguarding culture with detailed records and strong staff training

Areas for Improvement

  • Progress for disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND is not yet consistently strong despite improved support
  • Governors need better understanding of pupils' progress to hold leaders more effectively to account
  • Assessment of the curriculum beyond reading, writing and mathematics is not yet fully embedded
  • Attendance of some pupils with SEND remains an issue that limits their ability to benefit from support provided

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective, with a strong culture of safety, comprehensive staff training, detailed record-keeping, and appropriate liaison with external agencies to support families.

Extracurricular Activities

Educational trips including visits to Brunel's bridges and Concorde

St Anne's Church of England Primary School continues to be good, with strong leadership that has maintained educational quality since the last inspection in 2014. The school has effectively handled staffing challenges while improving pupil attainment, particularly in reading and writing.
