A Herefordshire Primary School has recently been rated as ‘good’ in an inspection by Ofsted.
Staunton-on-Wye Endowed Primary School was visited by Ofsted inspectors on the 11th and 12th October, a number of years since the previous visit.
This school was last inspected 13 years ago and judged ‘Outstanding’ under a previous inspection framework. This reflected the school’s overall effectiveness under the inspection framework in use at the time.
The report said:
“Pupils are rightly proud of the way they work together to look after each other and the environment. A parent, echoing the views of many, said, ‘Staunton staff take the time to help the children grow as individuals, and to also consider how they fit into, not just the community, but the planet.’
“Leaders keep the curriculum under review. This makes sure that any changes needed are made. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well.
“Pupils behave well. They know how to keep themselves safe. Bullying is not tolerated. Pupils know they have the right to say no.
“They know they have a responsibility to speak out if something is wrong. They trust adults to help them if needed but also have the words to resolve difficulties and differences for themselves.
“Pupils contribute widely to school and community life. They buzz with enthusiasm as they describe the school band and the Staunton Star. Pupils share the sense of duty they feel in order to make wise choices when spending money that they have raised. Older pupils also speak of their responsibility in being role models to younger pupils.”
