What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 January 2025

Pupils are rightly proud of their caring and nurturing school. Staff, pupils, parents and carers agree that Christ the King is a close-knit family, where everyone is valued and supported. This sense of belonging encourages mutual respect and a strong community spirit, with pupils consistently demonstrating kindness and acceptance towards one another. Pupils behave exceptionally well. Pupils have highly positive attitudes to learning and enjoy attending school. Disadvantaged pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are placed at the forefront of the school's ambition for all pupils to succeed. Staff have the highest expectations of what pupils can achieve. By the end of key stage 2, pupils achieve high standards in English and mathematics. Pupils are exceptionally well prepared for their next stages of education. The school has thought very carefully about the visits, visitors and experiences pupils encounter. Every pupil has a rich set of opportunities during their time at the school, including residential trips and days at the seaside and museums. These broaden their experience of the wider world. Pupils benefit from many chances to extend their talents and interests through a wide range of clubs, such as drama, cooking and sports.

What the school should improve

  • The intended learning outcomes for some activities in continuous provision in early years are not always clear. As a result, children gain little new knowledge from some of these activities. The school should ensure that intended learning for each activity is identified and communicated to all staff so that they can ensure children are engaged in meaningful learning throughout the early years setting.
