All Saints Church School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

This is a school where everyone is welcome. It helps pupils to become the best version of themselves. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school's caring and warm relationships mean pupils cheerfully arrive through the school gates each morning. One pupil accurately summed this up, stating, 'Everyone is there for each other.' Pupils enjoy their learning. They come to life when talking about their lessons and how well adults support them. They reflect their enthusiasm for school in their high attendance. The school has recently revised its behaviour system. It has ensured that staff and pupils understand how this works. Consequently, pupils behave well in class and at social times. The school puts a priority on pupils adopting a wide range of leadership roles. This helps them to understand how they can make a difference in the world. For example, pupils organised a fete to raise money for local and global charities. Pupils from service families come together to share their experiences and create a support network for each other. Typically, the school has high expectations for its pupils across all aspects of school life. It is supporting staff to raise these expectations further in the curriculum so that pupils learn even more.

What the school should improve

• On some occasions, teachers' expectations of what pupils can do is not high enough and does not match the ambitious curriculum. They give work which does not deepen pupils' knowledge sufficiently or they accept work that is of a lower standard than pupils are capable of. The trust should support teachers to consistently give tasks that matches the high ambition of the curriculum intent and that enables pupils to produce the best work they are capable of.
