What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 September 2022

A warm welcome is guaranteed for pupils as they arrive each day. Everyone here is valued for the unique contribution they bring to this small and friendly school. Staff help pupils to know and live out the four Christian values of love, hope, trust and forgiveness. These values contribute to why pupils, staff, parents, carers and governors all say there is a sense of 'family' here. Leaders expect pupils to behave well because they know this helps them to concentrate on their work. Staff are committed to building strong relationships with pupils and they provide them with positive support when needed. This helps pupils learn to make good choices about their behaviour. Consequently, all around school pupils are able to work hard and enjoy their learning. Pupils are taught how to make healthy friendships, meaning bullying rarely happens. Staff know pupils well, and they are trusted to respond quickly. Leaders take sensitive and helpful action when any incidents occur. Leaders are determined to ensure that all pupils achieve highly. They have taken into consideration the different backgrounds and starting points of the pupils. With this in mind, teachers and leaders have continued to redevelop and improve the curriculum.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders have not yet consistently checked the implementation of the newly revised curriculum. Teachers are not clear on how to check what has been learned within the foundation subjects. This means they are not able to identify pupils who have any misconceptions or gaps in learning. Leaders now need to put in place consistent systems and processes to check that this planned curriculum is having the intended impact.
  • Pupils are not able to confidently articulate a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of other faiths, beliefs, cultures and ways of life. This means they are not as well prepared as they could be for life beyond school in modern Britain. Leaders need to carefully and coherently plan a wide, rich set of learning experiences and opportunities to broaden pupils' knowledge and understanding.
