Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
St George's is a school where 'every child matters'. Leaders have created an oasis where children are welcomed, nurtured and prepared effectively for their next steps. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They rise to the high expectations that staff have of them. Lessons are calm and productive. Staff understand pupils' individual needs, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) or those who speak English as an additional language. Staff use this understanding to support pupils effectively. Most pupils achieve well as a result.
Staff forge strong relationships with pupils. Pupils feel safe. Every day starts with time for pupils to reflect and share how they are feeling. This enables staff to identify and help pupils who might have any worries.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has crafted a well-considered curriculum, including in the early years. The curriculum is relevant to pupils. For example, in history, pupils learn about the triple trawler tragedy. The school provides training for staff to help them understand how to teach each subject well and how to support pupils with SEND effectively. The school continually strives to improve pupils' experience and achievement. Recently, leaders have successfully worked to strengthen pupils' outcomes in phonics and writing.
In lessons, teachers' explanations are clear. In most cases, staff check carefully to make sure pupils have the knowledge they need to deepen their learning. Teachers use this information to provide tasks that consolidate and build on what pupils already know. As a result, pupils achieve well. Occasionally, these checks are not as precise. Where this is the case, staff's explanations or their choice of activities are not as carefully matched to pupils' stage in learning as they should be. This can limit the depth of pupils' understanding.
