What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to school and achieve well. They appreciate the care shown to them by their teachers. Positive relationships exist between pupils and staff. As a result, pupils feel safe. Bullying is not an issue here. Pupils know that adults would deal with it quickly if it happened. Many pupils behave very well. They are polite, well-mannered and confident. There are a few pupils who find it difficult to manage their behaviour. While adults support them with this, not all adults have the same high expectations. Some pupils find the behaviour of others frustrating. There are a range of opportunities for pupils to play an active role in the local community. For example, the school choir has sung at the community tea for elderly residents. Leaders also plan how to develop pupils' understanding of life beyond their school. There is a weekly global advocacy worship and pupils regularly discuss thought-provoking questions about current national and international news stories. At a picnic to celebrate the King's coronation, families brought dishes that represented their heritage to celebrate diversity. Pupils demonstrate respect for others. They are keen to embody the school's vision of 'loving, learning and living as we journey together'.
What the school should improve
- Teachers' expectations of pupils are not consistently high. Some tasks are not sufficiently ambitious. There is variation in the quality of work that pupils produce. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum is taught consistently and that all teachers have high expectations so that pupils achieve their full potential.
- Leaders have written a new behaviour policy. However, this is not embedded. There is some variation in terms of expectations for behaviour across the school, both in lessons and at less-structured times. Leaders should ensure that all staff have the same high expectations of behaviour and that the behaviour policy is consistently applied.
