What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 November 2023
Pupils show a thirst for learning. They are thoughtful, engaged learners who enjoy discussing what they know and remember. These traits start in the early years, where children play well with each other. They concentrate on the task in hand and love sharing what they are learning through their talk and actions. The school is ambitious in bringing the trust's values 'to love, to learn and to serve' to life. Pupils readily show their care for each other. They like that they can help and serve the school and the wider community. Recently, more pupils achieved the expected standards in English and mathematics by the end of key stage 2. Pupils show maturity and a deep understanding of being a unique individual within a diverse world. The school's five core values known as 'the 5 Cs' are visible throughout staff's and pupils' words and actions. Pupils rightly say that there are many opportunities to be a leader. Pupils know right from wrong. They behave well in lessons. They enjoy the freedom of space and physical exercise at playtimes. Pupils have a clear understanding of what behaviour and safe, healthy relationships should look like. Older pupils are positive role models in all they do for the younger pupils.
What the school should improve
- The school is in the process of developing systems for monitoring subjects across the curriculum. As yet, leaders are not fully aware of what needs to be improved to enhance the teaching of the curriculum. The school should complete the rollout of its monitoring plan so that strengths can be recognised and shared, and areas for development identified and addressed, including in the early years.
- Due to staffing changes, the school has had limited opportunity to ensure that all middle leaders know and understand the place of their subject within the early years. This means that there are occasions when interactions and vocabulary used in the early years are not as precise or effective as they could be. The school should ensure middle leaders know the foundations of their subjects and how best to ensure all staff in the early years support meaningful learning and interactions across the curriculum.
