What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 March 2023
Pupils are happy to attend this caring school. They say that everyone is friendly and that they get along well together. Leaders have put the school's Christian ethos at the centre of its work. Leaders encourage pupils to 'follow your path using the values for life'. Pupils and staff live these values out. For example, courage, kindness, forgiveness and friendship. Teachers have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils use their 'eagle eyes' in lessons. Teachers insist that pupils are active participants in their learning. Classrooms are calm. This means that pupils can do their best. Pupils' positive behaviour continues at playtime and lunchtime. Everyone agrees that poor behaviour or bullying is not tolerated. Pupils feel safe in school. Leaders are ambitious that pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils learn about a wide range of cultures and faiths. They are clear that everyone is equal. Each pupil is a member of a school house named after an inspirational person: Mandela, Nightingale, Hawkins and Greta. Pupils have opportunities to be leaders in school. The school council is actively involved in decisions that are made to improve the school, including a recent playground project.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have introduced a new approach to assessment in foundation subjects. However, they are not using the information provided by these assessments to adjust the curriculum where it may be needed. Leaders should ensure that the information assessment provides is used to improve the curriculum in order to maximise what pupils know and remember.
- Some curriculum leaders of foundation subjects have not monitored the subjects they lead. They have not fully evaluated the implementation or impact of the planned curriculum. Leaders should ensure that foundation subject curriculum leaders have opportunities to check how well the curriculum is delivered and that pupils are remembering the intended learning.
