St Oswald’s CofE Aided Primary School cares for and nurtures its pupils well. Pupils say that they enjoy school. Pupils feel very safe because they know that staff look after them and care for them. The school’s Christian ethos shines through all that the school does. The school’s motto, ‘Hand in hand, we love, laugh and learn’ describes this welcoming place perfectly. Leaders have worked hard to improve the school following a recent dip in outcomes. They now have much higher expectations of pupils. Teachers know the pupils well and make sure that lessons are interesting for them. Pupils are keen to learn. They are encouraged to achieve their very best and they do. Pupils behave well around school. Adults sort upsets quickly. Pupils learn how to spot bullying. They say it is rare and they know that adults will always help them with any problems if they occur. Parents and carers agree. There is much to interest and engage pupils at this school. Pupils from Year 2 upwards go on residential trips to learn outdoor and team building skills. All pupils go out on visits and they enjoy clubs such as choir and football. Pupils really enjoy the science club. They told me with enthusiasm about the amazing experiments that they can do.
