What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 March 2023
Staff encourage pupils to be supportive and 'build each other up' in line with the school's Christian ethos. Pupils are happy to come to school. They say that they enjoy learning, having fun and making friends. Staff have positive, nurturing relationships with pupils. Pupils feel safe at school because staff listen to their concerns. One pupil said, 'Teachers actually know what makes us happy, they are considerate in the choices they give you.' Incidents of bullying are rare and dealt with quickly. Pupils enjoy a wide range of activities to promote their broader development at this small school. Pupils say that they enjoy singing lessons and raising money for their chosen charity in Guatemala. They speak enthusiastically about visitors to the school, including a bank manager who taught them how to save their money and an engineer who explained how bridges are built. Leaders help pupils to develop a sense of responsibility. For example, pupils can become a school councillor and help make decisions about how other pupils should be rewarded when they treat each other with respect. Older pupils have the opportunity to welcome and serve lunch to members of the neighbouring community.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, curriculum planning is not yet complete. Teachers lack the guidance they need, so that they can teach certain subjects as well as others. Some pupils are unable to remember the essential knowledge that is required before moving on to the next stage in their learning. Leaders should ensure that they identify and sequence what pupils must know, from Reception to Year 6. Leaders should ensure that teachers have the knowledge and confidence to implement the curriculum, so that pupils know and remember more in all subjects.
- Leaders do not always check that all staff consistently follow the behaviour policy. A small number of staff do not challenge the low-level disruption of some pupils. Leaders should ensure that all members of staff have consistently high expectations for pupils' behaviour, in line with the school's agreed approach.
