What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
At Christ Church, the school's motto of 'Learning with God and each other to be the best we can be' is evident in all aspects of leaders' work. Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils and want them to thrive in learning and life. They ensure that all pupils enjoy a visit to London and a residential visit, attend a live performance, visit an art gallery and participate in a sporting event during their time at school. Pupils are happy to come to school and feel safe and well cared for. Bullying is uncommon. However, if it should occur, pupils are confident that teachers will sort it out. One parent was typical of many when they stated, 'My child is very happy and looks forward to going to school every day'. Pupils behave well during lessons, around school and at playtimes. They are well rewarded for this behaviour. Pupils have positive attitudes towards learning. Pupils enjoy responsibilities that promote their independence and prepare them for the future. These responsibilities start in early years. Pupils can be ambassadors in friendship, sports, gardening, library and health and safety. They are proud of their roles and say, 'it makes us feel good to know we are helping other people'.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not ensured that teachers are clear about what pupils should learn at different points. This means that some pupils do not know and remember some essential knowledge. Leaders should make sure that teachers know what pupils need to learn and when, and have the necessary knowledge and expertise to deliver the intended curriculums well.
