OFSTED Report
St Paul's CE Academy Ofsted link.
The last Ofsted inspection was in June 2024 and the school was rated as Good but if it has been a full inspection it was likely that it would be outstanding.
We are incredibly proud of the achievements of all our children. We were so pleased that the inspectors recognised all of the ways that the school, staff and children allow their light to shine.
Ofsted said:
"Pupils really enjoy coming to school. They know they are part of a welcoming community, where they are safe and cared for. Pupils embody the values of this inclusive school, treating each other with respect and kindness."
"There are a huge range of clubs and activities that pupils participate in. These are carefully woven throughout the school day, both as part of the academic curriculum, at lunchtime and after school. These include such things as sporting activities, learning to play different instruments and art clubs. All pupils are taught to ride a bicycle and many take part in performances at the local theatre. The individual talents and interests of pupils are valued and nurtured very well."
"Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those from disadvantaged backgrounds, make rapid progress."
"Pupils are taught to read at the first opportunity. In Nursery, they are introduced to the sounds needed to prepare them for phonics and they get off to a quick start. Children also share a wide range of stories, rhymes and poems, providing the foundations they need to become adept readers."
"The behaviour of pupils is exemplary. The youngest children demonstrate that expectations are high from the start and routines swiftly become embedded. The school ensures pupils are explicitly taught the language they should use with each other and how to play together."
"The array of opportunities and experiences the school provides are tailored to develop the social, moral and spiritual characteristics pupils need to be effective members of their community."
