Ofsted and Diocesan Reports

We are very pleased that we can now share with you of the results of our recent Ofsted Inspection which took place on 21st and 22nd November 2023.

The inspectors that visited our School carried out their inspection over the two days, which included deep dives into a selection of subjects, lesson visits, discussions with staff, multiple meetings with different groups of children, meetings with school leaders and scrutiny of work undertaken by children. They met with senior leaders, staff, children, members of the governing body, representatives from the Diocese and the local authority , spoke with parents, and reviewed documentation provided by the School. More of what inspectors looked at can be found within the official report. 

Some of our favourite quotes from the report are-

‘Great environment, fantastic staff and great values taught to the pupils.’

'Expectations of pupils are high, recognising and celebrating attitudes and actions that go ‘over and above’ the minimum.'

 ‘The school is very welcoming to all, and the diversity of pupils and families in the school gives all children broader insight and knowledge. Pupils develop a healthy respect for difference.'

 ‘The school is a supportive environment, and it cares about the whole child, not just ticking the boxes’. 

Most of these quotes are from our parents. We would like to thank all our parents and families for their ongoing support and the valuable contribution they make to our school community.

The inspectors concluded that St Swithun Wells Catholic Primary School continues to be a ‘Good’ school.

We are all very proud of this and consider this an excellent achievement for the School and we are extremely proud of all Staff and Pupils for their efforts during this inspection, the time leading up to the inspection, and the ongoing performance of the School.
