What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 October 2022
Pupils' attitudes to school reflect its strong Christian values. Pupils know and understand the importance of the school's vision, 'Growing and learning through Christ in faith, family and friendship'. This vision is at the heart of all the school does. Pupils enjoy school. They are happy and safe. They meet staff's very high expectations of behaviour. They are polite and courteous to each other and adults. Relationships are positive. Pupils respect and welcome diversity in their school community. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are included in all aspects of school life. Pupils said that little or no bullying takes place in school. They explained that staff take bullying seriously. Leaders deal with bullying effectively. Pupils are committed to their learning, take pride in their work and want to do well. They work hard because they know teachers have high expectations of them. Older pupils enjoy taking on leadership roles in school as ambassadors for different elements of school life. There are many roles as ambassadors for faith, sport and leadership across the school. Parents and carers speak positively about the school and its leadership. They appreciate the inclusive nature of the school and its family feel.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum does not identify end points clearly enough. This means that some pupils do not make as much progress through the curriculum as they should because teachers' expectations are not high enough. Leaders should ensure that teachers know exactly what pupils should know and remember and by when so that pupils achieve well in all subjects.
- Leaders have not made sure that the curriculum in the early years is linked clearly enough to the curriculum which pupils follow in key stage 1. As a result, at times, pupils are unable to build on what they already know. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum allows all pupils in key stage 1 to link new knowledge to what they have learned in the early years.
