Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
St Clement's CofE Primary is a friendly, nurturing and welcoming school. The school has created an atmosphere where pupils love to learn. The school's vision lies at the heart of its work. Pupils know the school's 'stars' values well. They demonstrate these in their interactions. The school has high expectations for pupils. Pupils work hard to meet these, and achieve well.
Pupils feel safe in school and learn how to stay safe online. They feel confident to share any worries with trusted adults in school. There is a culture of support and kindness to others, which adults at the school model well.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has developed a curriculum that is ambitious. It identifies the most important knowledge for pupils to learn over time. From the early years to the end of key stage 2, learning is designed well to build pupils' knowledge gradually. Pupils consolidate their knowledge and understanding through recapping their learning regularly. This helps them to remember what they have been taught and to make links between their current and prior learning. For example, in history, older pupils recall the German invasion across Europe during WWII. They relate this to the Roman invasion of Britain.
Teachers follow consistent teaching routines across the school. These routines help most pupils to access new learning and then apply it to new situations. However, learning is not always adapted sufficiently for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) in relation to what they know and can do. As a result, some pupils do not build on their knowledge as well as they could.
