What This School Does Well
St Saviour's is a caring school where children are happy, well-behaved and supported. The school excels at teaching early reading skills and has a rich curriculum that helps children understand different cultures and beliefs. Staff know families well and provide excellent support to those who need it most.
Key Strengths
- Early years provision is good and phonics teaching is consistently strong in Reception and Years 1-2
- Strong pastoral support for vulnerable pupils and excellent behaviour, with very good relationships between staff and pupils
- Broad, stimulating curriculum that promotes spiritual, moral, social and cultural development
- Pupils with special educational needs are well supported and make good progress
- Leaders and staff are reversing the decline in standards with improving teaching and professional development
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching, learning and assessment remain inconsistent - pupils in key stages 1 and 2 make variable progress and need more challenge, particularly the most able
- Achievement in reading and mathematics needs to improve, especially for boys and disadvantaged pupils
- Leaders' improvement plans lack clear priorities and measures of success, making it hard to track impact
- Teachers' assessments are not accurate enough to ensure work matches pupils' needs and abilities
- Governors have not challenged leaders enough or properly monitored the impact of pupil premium spending
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with staff providing very effective pastoral support for vulnerable pupils and their families.
Extracurricular Activities
Computer clubs, homework clubs, educational visits, book and author celebrations, community events
St Saviour's C of E Primary School requires improvement overall, having declined from its previous outstanding status. While leaders and staff show capacity to improve and pupils' achievement is starting to rise, there remain inconsistencies in teaching quality and areas where pupils could achieve better.
