Membury Primary School is still a 'good school' according to their latest Ofsted inspection on June 24.
Inspectors published their findings on the school on June 24, and still graded the school as good, but they found, that if a full inspection had been carried out, the overall judgement may not have been as 'high.' The school's next inspection will be graded.
Inspectors praised the school's motto 'small school, one big family' and agreed that this is certainly true. They said that students were 'polite' and 'keen to learn.' They also said that children and teachers enjoy attending the school. Students also take part in extracurricular activities like attending the community cafe to take part in singing performances for residents.
Students learn to read and write well, as well as learn the maths curriculum, but the school 'could improve the curriculum to better adapt learning to students.'
Inspectors did say that the school needed to' improve the curriculum' as it is not adapted to meet the needs of all pupils. It does not match what pupils know and can do which means that some pupils, including pupils with SEND, do not achieve as well as they should.
"The school must ensure that the curriculum is implemented effectively and adapted across all subjects and in all classes. Assessment is not used effectively across the curriculum."
When a school is judged as good, Ofsted returns around once every four years to confirm that the school remains good. This is called an ungraded inspection.
The headteacher of this school is Heidi Wickens. The school is part of Acorn Multi Academy Trust.
