Inspections

Latest Ofsted Report – January 2023 

 

'Pupils thrive because of the high ambitions that radiate throughout the school. Classrooms are joyful and energetic places to be. Pupils show excitement and curiosity in their learning and are not afraid to try new things. Their resilience and confidence underpin the positive learning behaviours that they have.

In lessons, pupils understand what their teachers and teaching partners expect of them. Behaviour in the classroom is positive, and creates a calm and purposeful environment.

Leaders have ensured that all pupils have a strong start at Bampton CofE Primary School. Leaders have thought carefully about the knowledge their pupils need and when they need to learn it. Overall, there is a well-designed curriculum from Nursery onwards which aims to prepare pupils for their next steps as they progress through their education.

Pupils love to learn in this school. Their enthusiasm is clear to see and reflected in the positive way that they behave in lessons. Pupils’ behaviour supports learning very well. On the whole, all pupils, including those with SEND, fully gain the knowledge that their teachers intend them to learn. The strong culture and provision for pupils with SEND mean that successful adaptations are in place to ensure achievement for all.

In Nursery and Reception, staff are highly knowledgeable about the early years framework. They take every opportunity during the school day to talk to children and to develop their knowledge and vocabulary. Staff plan learning activities carefully, based on what they know children need to learn next. This highly effective planning means there are no limits to what children can achieve.'
