Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Stanwick Primary School has high expectations for every pupil. Pupils are happy and enjoy attending this school. Staff and pupils follow the core values of 'teamwork, friendship, perseverance, honesty, respect and responsibility'. Pupils said that they feel safe in school. They are ready to learn and enjoy their lessons. Pupils work hard and achieve well across the curriculum. They make a positive contribution to the school.
Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Lessons are calm and pupils concentrate on their learning. Pupils play well together at playtime. They show respect for each other and for staff. Children in Reception share and cooperate well. Bullying is rare. If it does happen, it is not tolerated by leaders and is dealt with quickly.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school is passionate about giving every pupil the best possible education. Staff want all pupils to achieve their full potential. Staff have received a significant amount of subject training since the last inspection. As a result, they have carefully designed a curriculum that is ambitious and relevant to the pupils and community that the school serves. The curriculum sets out the important knowledge that pupils need to learn, and the order in which they should learn it.
In most subjects, staff design learning activities that enable pupils to deepen their knowledge and understanding. However, in a very few subjects, the level of challenge does not allow pupils to apply their knowledge and skills in detail. Staff provide pupils with regular opportunities to revisit what they have learned. This helps pupils to retain important knowledge and make connections between previous and current learning. Staff regularly check what pupils know. In reading and mathematics, for example, staff identify pupils who have gaps in their learning. These pupils receive high-quality extra support that helps them to improve.
