Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils flourish at Weeke Primary School and benefit from 'irresistible learning', which is one of its key aims. The school has an unwavering determination to provide the highest quality of education to all pupils. As a result, pupils receive an excellent start to their education and achieve very well, particularly in reading and mathematics.
Pupils are right to be proud of their school. From the start of the Reception Year, the school prioritises building positive relationships between staff and pupils. These shine through their interactions. Pupils have overwhelmingly excellent attitudes to their learning in all years. They know exactly what is expected of them because inspiring staff teach them how to behave. Staff and governors frequently consult pupils about many aspects of school life. This means pupils know that their opinions are valued. They have a deep appreciation of, and respect for, the many differences that exist between people.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
This school is very self reflective. It is constantly striving to deliver the best provision for all of its pupils. A highly ambitious curriculum has been implemented that enables pupils, including those with SEND, to achieve highly. From the start of early years, pupils become confident and articulate learners. They relish the opportunity to discuss their learning and take pride in their successes.
Reading is prioritised. Pupils benefit from a phonics programme that well-trained staff deliver to a consistently high standard. Staff make frequent checks on pupils' phonics knowledge, identifying pupils that would benefit from extra help. These pupils receive the additional support that they need. Once phonic knowledge has been secured, pupils become highly confident and fluent readers.
