What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 May 2025
Pupils, parents and carers see Christ the King as a family, where everyone is welcome and treated with respect. Pupils are eager to attend each day. They bound into school with enthusiasm and are greeted warmly by staff. Pupils know that they are well cared for and safe. They have a trusted adult they can speak to if they have worries. Pupils and staff alike share and live out the school's mission, 'together we wonder, together we believe, together we shine and together we achieve'. The school has high aspirations for pupils' achievement. Pupils enjoy learning and are keen to share all that they know and can do. They take pride in the work that they produce and recognise the importance of always trying their best. Pupils behave and achieve well. There are vast opportunities for pupils to broaden their horizons. They enjoy visits to museums and historical places of interest that bring learning to life. Pupils appreciate the residential trips on offer, which develop their confidence and help them to build strong relationships with their peers. Enrichment activities widen pupils' talents and interests. These activities are popular and have a high uptake, with pupils keen to partake in cricket, football and coding to name but a few.
What the school should improve
- Staff do not ensure that pupils apply their knowledge of spelling, punctuation and grammar across the wider curriculum. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as highly as they could. The school should ensure that staff support pupils to apply their knowledge, skills and understanding of spelling, punctuation and grammar when writing across different subjects.
- The systems for governors to gain an accurate insight into the effectiveness of the school are not as thorough as they could be. As a result, governors do not have enough information to offer sufficient challenge to the school to ensure that it continues to go from strength to strength. The school should ensure that those responsible for governance are enabled to gain a sharper overview of the school's strengths and areas for improvement.
