What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 October 2022

Pupils are eager to come to this friendly and welcoming school. They respond well to adults' high expectations of them. Leaders ensure that pupils experience a broad, interesting curriculum that includes a focus on learning about the local area. Pupils enjoy finding out about new things and are keen to do their best. Pupils behave exceptionally well during lessons and at playtimes. They model the school's 'Myddle Magic' Christian values, including respect, perseverance and kindness, in all they do. Pupils told inspectors that bullying is rare. They are confident that if it did happen, an adult would deal with it quickly. Pupils feel safe and well cared for and know that adults at the school will help them with any problems or worries they have. Pupils are keen to have extra responsibilities and take their roles seriously. They can apply for roles such as librarian, eco-councillor, worship councillor, sports leader, or member of the school council. They have many opportunities to develop their talents and interests in sport, music and art, for example at clubs, inter-school competitions and musical performances in the local community. Pupils also enjoy the regular visits they undertake as part of the topics they study.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, including computing, the curriculum is less well developed than in others. In these subjects, pupils do not build on knowledge as well as they could. Leaders should continue with their work to ensure that all subjects are well sequenced so that pupils are able to make strong progress across the curriculum.
  • Some pupils do not have a sufficient, age-appropriate awareness and understanding of the differences and individual characteristics that make people unique. This means that some pupils are less well prepared than they could be for their next steps and future lives. Leaders should continue with their work to ensure that pupils learn about the differences that people have in their own community and the wider world.
