What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2023
Pupils say that school is fun. They enjoy learning new things. They also like that because it is a small school, they know everyone. Pupils feel safe because staff look after them well. They feel confident to talk to an adult if they are worried about anything. Pupils are polite and respectful to other pupils, staff and visitors. They understand adults' high expectations of their work and behaviour. Pupils of all ages meet these expectations. They work hard and most achieve well, particularly in reading. As behaviour is good in lessons, pupils can concentrate and get on with their work without any disruptions. The school's strong Christian ethos sets the tone for treating others with respect and kindness. Pupils understand and appreciate diversity and equality. They know that discrimination in all forms is wrong and unacceptable. They welcome pupils from different countries and backgrounds and make them feel at home. Staff forge positive, caring relationships with pupils and families. This adds to the community feel of the school. Parents appreciate the approachability and support provided. Staff are also positive about the school. All are proud to work there.
What the school should improve
- A small number of subjects are not yet coherently planned and well sequenced. As a result, pupils struggle to build successfully on their prior learning. Leaders should ensure that subject leaders have the skills and support needed to ensure that the curriculum in all subjects meets the needs of pupils in every age group. Leaders should also ensure that staff monitor their subject areas and evaluate the impact on pupil achievement.
- Leaders have not developed a consistent system to assess how well pupils recall and retain what they learn. This means that gaps in pupils' knowledge are not identified and rectified. Leaders should ensure that there are effective systems in place to check the retention of pupils' knowledge and understanding in all subjects.
