What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 March 2023
Pupils' behaviour is excellent. They show consideration for others, often without any prompting. If someone is upset or worried, other pupils and staff are quick to listen and help. Pupils and staff know that bullying is wrong, and they take any allegations seriously. If anyone breaks the rules, then staff notice and act fairly. Consequently, pupils and parents are very confident that the school is a well-led, safe place to be. The school's Christian foundation drives many of the school's values. Staff are positive role models, and pupils respond very well to the example they set. They respect their teachers and work hard in lessons. Different subjects are taught regularly, and are often supported by school trips and special days. In many subjects, the curriculum is well organised. Reading, for example, is taught very well, and standards have risen over time. All pupils have opportunities to shoulder responsibility. They take on jobs such as junior leaders, librarians and anti-bullying ambassadors. They do these jobs well and help other pupils. Because pupils have a voice and leadership roles in school, staff know how they are feeling. This helps everyone to get on well and be happy at school.
What the school should improve
- The mathematics curriculum is well organised but does not provide all pupils with sufficient practice in solving problems of the same type. This means that some pupils do not build a fluent understanding of which facts and methods to use in different situations. Leaders should review the mathematics curriculum so that all pupils become more confident and successful in problem-solving.
- In a few foundation subjects, the curriculum does not identify clearly enough the important content to be taught and revisited so that pupils know and remember it. This means that pupils find it hard to make connections between new and earlier learning. Leaders should continue to review curriculum design in some foundation subjects, and provide more guidance for staff to follow, to ensure all the necessary content is taught and learned.
