What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 January 2025
Christ the King is a school where pupils are at the heart of everything. Warm greetings from staff create a positive and welcoming start to the day. The exceptional early years provision builds a strong foundation for learning, ensuring that children feel supported and inspired from the start. This is an inclusive school, where everyone feels valued and welcomed. The school has high expectations for both behaviour and achievement. Children in early years demonstrate exceptional kindness and respect towards others. Older pupils are polite and welcoming. The school's rules of 'ready, respectful and safe' can be seen in the behaviour of both pupils and adults. As a result of the school's high expectations, pupils achieve well. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive and supportive. Pupils know that if they have a worry, they can speak to an adult in school who will help them. Pupils feel happy and safe. The school's wider offer is exceptional. Pupils are supported to thrive through the broad and rich range of experiences. They benefit from a wealth of opportunities to develop their talents and interests. For instance, pupils enjoy singing in the school choir, which helps them to build confidence and a sense of togetherness.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum design in Years 1 to 6 has been recently reviewed. Some of the school's intended changes are not fully established. Where this is the case, it can sometimes affect how well pupils connect their prior learning with new knowledge and skills and, in turn, build up knowledge incrementally. The school should ensure that the curricular changes are fully embedded, so that pupils can achieve consistently well across all subjects.
