What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2023
Pupils enjoy being part of the 'Crockerne community'. They speak positively about their school. Their regular attendance reflects this. Pupils say that everyone gets on. They feel that staff care for them. Parents agree. Leaders have put the school's Christian ethos at the heart of its work. Pupils demonstrate the school's values of independence, perseverance, reflection, empathy and collaboration. In the early years, children play positively together. They concentrate on tasks over a sustained period. Pupils behave well in classrooms and around the school. They listen attentively to adults' instructions. Staff meet pupils' needs effectively, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils feel safe in school. They say that bullying is rare. Pupils say that if bullying occurs, staff sort it out quickly. Pupils enjoy taking part in a range of experiences beyond the academic curriculum. Leaders organise residential trips which develop pupils' resilience. Leaders encourage participation in sport. Many pupils represent the school in a wide variety of competitions, which boosts their self-esteem. Older pupils develop leadership skills through being 'buddies', helping younger pupils at lunchtimes.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teaching does not check effectively what pupils can already do. When this occurs, teaching does not help pupils to extend their thinking. Pupils do not always complete tasks that build on what they already know. Leaders should ensure that teaching considers what pupils already know, to extend pupils' knowledge.
- Leaders do not ensure that the curriculum deepens pupils' knowledge of faiths and cultures other than Christianity. Consequently, pupils' knowledge is not broad enough. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum enables pupils to learn about different faiths and cultures in order to prepare them for life in modern Britain.
