What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 December 2024
Pupils are proud of their diverse school community. The school's vison for pupils to live 'life in all its fullness' is truly felt by all. Pupils are happy and positive about their school where they know that they are valued for their individuality. They have strong relationships with the school staff who help them if they have any worries. Parents and carers value the nurturing and caring atmosphere of the school. The school has high expectations for pupils' academic attainment and behaviour. Pupils achieve well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). In lessons, pupils listen carefully and concentrate on their learning. They value earning house points and using their tokens to contribute towards collaborative rewards. At break and lunchtimes, pupils enjoy playing with their friends. They are kind to each other and have good manners. Older pupils relish their responsibilities such as buddy reading with younger children and helping them in the lunch hall. The school makes the most of its proximity to the centre of Oxford. Pupils benefit from regular visits to museums and cultural experiences which enhance their learning across the curriculum. Pupils enthuse about their whole school events, such as visiting the theatre in London's West End.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, curriculum changes have only recently been implemented. As a result, pupils do not always recall key knowledge and make links with their previous learning. The school should ensure that these curriculum improvements are embedded so that gaps in pupils' knowledge and skills are addressed.
