A Cheshire school is celebrating following its recent Ofsted inspection.

Kingsley St John's CofE (VA) Primary School in Kingsley, Frodsham, "continues to be a good school" in the words of inspectors, who noted that pupils "have a strong sense of belonging" there.

The school is "welcoming, caring and nurturing" and "pupils know that staff will help them with any concerns or worries that they have," inspectors added.

The report continued: "Pupils behave well in school. They show high standards of conduct both in lessons and around the school. This is because the school manages their behaviour well. Pupils also show enthusiasm in lessons.

"From the early years to Year 6, the school has put in place a carefully designed curriculum that meets the needs of pupils.

"Reading is a high priority for the school. Pupils enjoy a wide range of carefully selected fiction and non-fiction books.

"Literature, authors and genres are celebrated regularly with pupils. In the Nursery class, children enjoy and benefit from learning rhymes, songs and poems.

"Pupils understand the importance of equality and diversity, for example by learning and reading about key influential people from the past. Consequently, pupils learn to appreciate and embrace people’s differences.

"Respect for others really matters to pupils. They said that everyone should feel valued, not just in their school community, but in the wider world."

Identifying where the school can improve further, inspectors noted: "In a minority of subjects, assessment systems are underdeveloped," and some pupils did not attend school as often as they should, calling on the school to work with those pupils and families to improve attendance.

The school was previously rated Good in an inspection carried out in November 2018, and this was the first inspection held since then.
