What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
Pupils at King David are very proud of their school. They are happy, enjoy being with their friends and feel well cared for by staff. Differences are celebrated in this diverse school community where pupils of many faiths learn harmoniously together. Pupils said that everyone is made to feel very welcome. Pupils behave well. From the start of the early years, children quickly learn the school's rules of kindness, respect and responsibility. Across the school, most pupils listen attentively to their teachers and are keen to learn. Lessons are calm and purposeful. Pupils benefit from the high aspirations that the school has of them. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are well prepared for the next stage in their education. Pupils enjoy the range of activities on offer which bring the curriculum to life, for example when visiting the zoo or a museum. They said that the careers day helps them to think about their aspirations for the future. Older pupils take advantage of leadership opportunities. These experiences enable pupils to make a valuable contribution to the life of the school. For example, reading ambassadors help to organise reading cafés, which are attended by younger pupils and their families. The ambassadors share book recommendations and families are thrilled to share books with their children.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the school has not identified the small steps of key knowledge that pupils should know. This makes it difficult for staff to design learning that helps pupils to build a secure body of knowledge over time. The school should ensure that the curriculum contains sufficient detail, to enable pupils to know and remember more.
- In some subjects, the curriculum is not implemented as the school intends. This means that pupils do not learn all that they should. The school should ensure that staff receive training and guidance to deliver the curriculum consistently across subjects.
