What This School Does Well
Stone with Woodford is particularly strong in reading and early literacy. Staff inspire pupils to become avid readers through carefully chosen texts that help children learn about different people's lives and experiences. The school sets high standards for behaviour and creates a calm, respectful environment where pupils feel safe and are well supported, including those with additional needs.
Key Strengths
- Reading is at the heart of the curriculum - children learn sounds confidently from Reception and staff use ongoing checks to help those needing extra support catch up quickly
- High expectations for behaviour and conduct - pupils understand school values of respect, kindness and resilience, creating a calm and orderly atmosphere
- Strong support for pupils with SEND - targets are clear and precise, ensuring pupils learn successfully alongside their peers
- Teachers have secure subject knowledge in many subjects and explain curriculum content clearly
- Broad range of wider activities and strong sense of community praised by parents and carers
Areas for Improvement
- Not all year groups have embedded the raised expectations for positive attitudes to learning - some pupils still need reminders and can distract themselves and others
- In subjects where subject leadership is under development, staff lack sufficient curriculum expertise to teach content effectively or adapt resources well
- Pupils in some subjects are given tasks that are sometimes too easy or too hard, so they don't secure prior knowledge or build new knowledge well
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective and the school has created an open and positive culture that puts pupils' interests first.
Extracurricular Activities
Clubs, trips, visits, school council, leadership roles, charity fundraising
