Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Stanville Primary School excels at making children feel safe and happy, with exceptional behaviour throughout the school. Teachers use creative, engaging lessons with good use of technology and talk-based learning, helping all pupils including those with additional needs and those learning English as an additional language to make good progress. The school is particularly strong at identifying children who need extra support and getting them help quickly.

Key Strengths

  • Behaviour and safety are outstanding - pupils behave exceptionally well and feel very safe at school
  • Early Years Foundation Stage is well managed with children making good progress from very low starting points
  • Leaders track pupils' achievement closely and provide additional support quickly when needed
  • Above-average attendance because pupils enjoy coming to school
  • Parents are very positive about the school and praise staff commitment

Areas for Improvement

  • Not enough teaching is outstanding - more lessons need to reach the highest standard
  • Work is not always pitched at the right level for individual pupils - sometimes too hard or too easy
  • While marking is generally good, teachers do not always ensure pupils correct repeated mistakes to improve their work quality

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective - the school maintains appropriate safeguarding documents and procedures to keep pupils safe.

Stanville Primary School is a good school where attainment is rising in all subjects due to rapid progress of all pupil groups. Teaching is typically good with some outstanding lessons, leading to higher achievement across Key Stages 1 and 2.
