What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2024
Pupils thrive in this happy and supportive school. They are proud of its inclusive ethos and being a member of the 'Christ Church family'. Staff work in very close partnership with parents and carers and the community to deliver a positive experience for pupils. The school's mission statement of 'have faith, take responsibility, show respect and achieve' is lived out daily by pupils and staff. The school develops pupils' knowledge and confidence through a broad and ambitious curriculum. Pupils achieve well in their learning, which is also reflected in published outcomes. This is because the school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils behave well both in lessons and around the school. They are motivated and show respect and kindness towards adults and each other. Pupils say that bullying is rare and that if it occurs, it is dealt with swiftly. The school develops pupils' independence and character. Pupils take on leadership responsibilities. For example, they can be house captains and help at school clubs. Older pupils listen to younger pupils read. Pupils appreciate the wide range of clubs they can choose to attend. These include chess, choir, football, squash, and creative activities such as the recently introduced 'beyond blocks' club.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, there are inconsistencies in the implementation of the school's ambitious curriculum. Teachers sometimes do not check that all pupils fully understand what they have been learning. This means that some pupils, including those with SEND or who are new to learning English, are not able to connect important knowledge and skills. This results in them not achieving as well as they could. The school should ensure all staff develop expertise in the checking of learning and making appropriate adaptations to teaching activities when necessary.
