What This School Does Well
St George's provides excellent support and care for pupils, particularly those facing difficult circumstances, helping them attend regularly and feel secure. The school has recruited an effective executive headteacher who is making clear improvements to teaching quality. Early years provision is strong, with children making good progress from below-average starting points.
Key Strengths
- Excellent pastoral care and support for vulnerable pupils and families
- Effective executive headteacher with clear understanding of school's strengths and weaknesses
- Strong progress in reading, with rapid improvements in most classes
- Good progress in Early Years Foundation Stage
- Disabled pupils and those with special educational needs are well-tracked and making good progress
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching does not provide appropriate challenge for more able pupils
- Pupils do not get enough opportunities for extended writing or to apply maths skills to real-life situations
- Inconsistent marking that does not always tell pupils how to improve
- Teachers do not consistently check pupils' understanding early in lessons
- Subject leaders lack rigorous oversight of progress in subjects other than English and maths
St George's CofE Primary School requires improvement. While the school has effective leadership and provides excellent pastoral care, pupils do not make consistently good progress, particularly in writing and mathematics, and teaching quality is not yet consistently good.
