What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 November 2023
This school is a caring, safe and ambitious community based on the Christian principle of looking after one another. Staff and pupils are kind and supportive. Pupils feel that they are part of a family at this school. Activities such as the weekly whole-school 'shout out' help to develop this strong sense of community. Staff know their pupils very well. This means they can address any concerns quickly and put support in place when it is needed. The school has high expectations for pupils to achieve well. This ambition extends to pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). These pupils follow the same broad and balanced curriculum as their peers. The curriculum is taught by teachers with strong subject knowledge. Very clear and strong routines give pupils a consistent structure to their learning across the different subjects. Pupils are polite, engaging and proud of their school. They recognise the opportunities that the school gives them to achieve. This is demonstrated by high levels of attendance. Pupils work hard and they are ambitious for their future. They behave very well in lessons, listening to their teachers and to each other. Pupils are safe in school.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the teaching activities selected do not help pupils progress through the curriculum. This means that some pupils do not cover all the curriculum as intended and have gaps in their knowledge. Leaders should continue to develop pedagogy to ensure that teaching activities selected are suited to pupils' needs and previous learning.
- Sometimes, in corridors and at social times, pupils do not regulate their own behaviour. This means that sometimes there is boisterous behaviour in corridors and in play spaces. The school should ensure that its high expectations of behaviour are met beyond the classroom so that corridors and social spaces are calm, orderly and purposeful.
