What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 October 2022
Pupils are proud of their school. They are happy and safe in this nurturing environment. The school's Christian ethos threads through every aspect of school life. Pupils are encouraged to support each other and maximise their own potential. Leaders and staff place pupils at the heart of their school. They value pupils' ideas and have recently appointed a pupil leadership team to make sure these are heard. Leaders expect all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve well. Pupils strive to meet these expectations. In singing assemblies, for example, leaders are ambitious for all. Older pupils are expected to sing in four-part harmonies, which, with practice, they achieve. All staff expect pupils to behave well. Pupils are courteous and respectful towards each other. Pupils understand what bullying is. If bullying occurred, pupils would tell an adult, who would resolve it swiftly. Leaders provide a range of visits to complement the curriculum. The school has its own resident pet pigs, Dotty and Truffles. Pupils learn to care for these animals by feeding and grooming them and cleaning up after them. The pigs also play a very important part in supporting pupils with social and emotional needs.
What the school should improve
- Some staff are not teaching key learning explicitly enough in wider curriculum subjects. This means not all pupils remember important knowledge well enough to help with what they learn next. Leaders need to continue to embed and monitor the intended curriculum so that all pupils know and remember more in every subject.
- Leaders have recently introduced a new phonics programme. Most staff have the expertise to help pupils learn to read well. However, a small number of staff are less consistent in utilising the intended strategies of the programme. Leaders should ensure that these staff have sufficient confidence and subject knowledge to teach phonics. This will help pupils to learn to read with consistent confidence, fluency and accuracy.
