A primary school in Herefordshire has been rated as good, following a recent inspection by Ofsted.
Weston-under-Penyard C of E Primary School was described as ‘good’ by inspectors following the inspection on the 4th and 5th May 2022.
The report said:
“Pupils enjoy attending school. They feel safe and know that teachers care for them. Parents who spoke with inspectors said that the school ‘feels like a family’. Pupils enjoy their lessons. They attend and are enthusiastic about the range of clubs and visits on offer.
“For example, pupils visit the nearby Wye Valley and can join in clubs from French to construction. Caring, respectful relationships are evident across the school. Pupils say that bullying does not happen often, but staff deal with it well if it does. Pupils say that teachers listen to them.
“Leaders are determined that every pupil achieves the very best. Many pupils rise to this challenge. This starts in nursery. Leaders swiftly address any barriers to children’s learning and development. Pupils say that lessons can be ‘hard in a good way’.
“They talk confidently about how they move new learning into their long-term memories by ‘interrupting the forgetting curve’.
“Pupils behave well. They are polite and courteous. They hold doors open for visitors, staff and peers. They talk passionately about their own and others’ rights and responsibilities. They can describe how Meg, the school dog, has rights, too.
“Inclusion is a high priority. Leaders are keen to ensure that all pupils are fully involved in school life.”
