Ofsted's report card, in its own words

What it's like to be a pupil at St Charles Borromeo Catholic Primary School, Weybridge

Pupils are proud to belong to this friendly and caring school community. They feel well known as individuals. Each morning, staff greet pupils warmly and take a genuine interest in their lives. Pupils enjoy school and attend regularly. They are confident that any worries or concerns will be addressed quickly and effectively, for example when they use their classroom 'I wish my teacher knew…' box. Pupils value the opportunities to build relationships across the school, particularly the newly introduced 'Wow Wednesdays', when pupils from different year groups spend time playing together. Pupils know and live out their 'ready, respectful, safe' school rules. Pupils engage enthusiastically in their learning and speak confidently about the experiences provided through the curriculum. They recall key messages from assemblies, including learning about safety and allergy awareness. Trips and visits are highly valued. Pupils readily explain how these experiences strengthen their learning, such as Year 5 pupils' excitement about visiting Butser Farm to bring their study of the Anglo Saxons to life. Pupils achieve highly. Those who require additional support receive it promptly and effectively, enabling them to learn successfully alongside their peers. From the earliest years, pupils demonstrate positive attitudes to learning and behaviour. Children in the Reception Year walk sensibly through the school on their way to the hall and beam with pride when leaders recognise their 'safe and beautiful' walking. Pupils understand the importance of contributing to school life and take their responsibilities seriously. Older pupils are eager to take on leadership roles and recognise the positive difference these can make. For example, the school council helped to broaden food choices at lunchtime. Pupils readily explain what makes their school special, including its close links with the neighbouring church. They also speak enthusiastically about representing the school in sporting events. While proud of achievements such as winning events, pupils place particular value on teamwork and supporting their friends.

What Ofsted says the school should do next
