St Edward’s Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school where pupils take pride in their learning environment. The school fosters a supportive community with high expectations for both academic and personal growth. Pupils are well-behaved, feel safe, and have positive relationships with staff and peers. The curriculum is ambitious and designed to build on prior knowledge, helping students develop key skills and knowledge. While the school showcases many strengths, there are areas identified for improvement. Specific shortcomings include the lack of clarity in the foundation subjects' curriculum plans regarding small learning steps and the absence of a cohesive overview of the texts read by pupils, which affects their access to progressively challenging literature. This ongoing inspection comes after the school had been previously judged as good in 2012, and it marks the first inspection since the COVID-19 pandemic.
