What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 July 2024
Pupils are at the heart of this caring school. It is a happy and nurturing place in which to learn. Pupils and staff understand the importance of working to uphold the school's Christian values of trust, respect and courage. They do their best to live up to them. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. There are high expectations of behaviour and pupils meet these well. Pupils hold their teachers in high regard. Relationships are respectful and positive. Pupils say they feel safe at school. They know they can go to any adult in school if they have a concern or worry. They are confident that staff will listen and help them. Pupils have opportunities to lead. They take these roles seriously and are proud of them. For example, worship leaders enjoy leading lunchtime prayer, while others help to make sure that the library is kept in order and ready to be enjoyed. A wide range of experiences are available for pupils to enjoy, for example participating in performances at Peterborough Cathedral. Pupils access the various before- and after- school clubs and those held during lunchtime. These provide positive experiences that support their personal development.
What the school should improve
- The full curriculum is not sufficiently well developed to build pupils' knowledge. As a result, pupils do not build a deep body of learning over time. The school should ensure that, as it refines its curriculum thinking, the essential knowledge that pupils should learn, and when this should happen, is clearly identified in all subjects.
- The school has not developed effective approaches to assessment in the foundation subjects. As a result, staff are unclear about what pupils know and can do, and some pupils are left with gaps in their learning. This is affecting the continuity and progression of learning for pupils. The school should ensure that effective systems for summative assessment are in place and used consistently well to identify next steps in learning to enable pupils to achieve well in all subjects.
