What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 March 2024
Pupils at Christ Church C of E Primary are happy and proud of their school. They understand how the school's values help them to become respectful and caring members of their school community. Pupils say there is someone and something for everyone. Pupils know how the school rules help them to feel safe. They move around the school sensibly and demonstrate good manners. This starts in the early years where children listen carefully and share their ideas enthusiastically. Despite this, some parents raise concerns about the behaviour of a small number of pupils. The inspector saw pupils behaving well during this inspection. Appropriate support is in place for pupils who struggle to manage their emotions. Pupils say that staff encourage them to do their best. They trust adults to listen and help them. Pupils talk confidently about the way they use the 'post boxes' when they need to share their worries or concerns. Pupils enjoy the many extra-curricular opportunities on offer to them such as pottery, crochet and football. Pupils are eager to take on responsibilities by becoming members of the eco and school improvement councils. They understand how these roles enable them to improve their school.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not check well enough what pupils know and remember. Subsequent learning does not take into account pupils' prior knowledge. As a result, some pupils do not build their knowledge well over time. This slows their progress across the curriculum. The school needs to ensure that teachers check what pupils know and remember across all subjects and use this to inform future learning.
- In some subjects, learning is not adapted well enough to meet pupils' needs. Where this is the case, pupils, including those with SEND, do not develop their knowledge well enough across the curriculum. The school needs to ensure that learning is suitably adapted so that all groups of pupils progress through the curriculum well.
