What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 November 2023
Pupils love coming to Holy Trinity school. They are happy, confident, and kind to each other. They enjoy all the extra responsibilities that the school creates for them. These responsibilities include acting as reading buddies and worship leads. Pupils learn how to make the right choices, so that they can keep themselves safe outside of school. They know what bullying is. The school is vigilant in spotting any signs of bullying and takes swift action if it happens. As a result, this school is a calm and supportive place, where pupils enjoy learning. The school value of 'hope' is at the heart of everything this school does. The curriculum ensures pupils develop a strong sense of what hope might mean. For example, pupils say, 'They hope to do well in school and hope for everyone to be safe.' The school has an ambitious and engaging curriculum that pupils enjoy. There is a strong focus on ensuring pupils learn to read and become confident readers. Most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well and develop high aspirations for their future.
What the school should improve
- Teachers' explanations, particularly in key stage 1, are not always clear. When this happens, it slows pupils' learning. Leaders should ensure teachers have the support they need to implement the curriculum well.
- On occasion, adults' expectations of what children in the early years can achieve are too low. This means that children do not always learn content in sufficient depth and, therefore, are not well prepared for some aspects of the Year 1 curriculum. Leaders should ensure that all staff have consistently high expectations of what children can achieve.
