What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 April 2024

'To live as Jesus taught us' is the motto that underpins everything at this school. Staff have high ambitions for every pupil, including disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school works hard to help pupils to be the best they can be. As a result, pupils do well and achieve strong outcomes. This is a community where pupils are nurtured and very well cared for. Pupils repay this with excellent behaviour. Warm and respectful relationships between adults and pupils are commonplace and a pleasure to observe. Pupils are courteous, caring and friendly. They work hard and enjoy their learning. They are confident that adults will deal with any issues quickly and fairly. The school's work to enhance pupils' character and personal development is strong. Pupils enjoy a wide range of activities that extends their learning beyond the classroom. These activities include leadership roles, trips, residentials and after- school clubs. Pupils also learn important life lessons on topics such as healthy relationships and online safety. Consequently, they are well prepared for later life.

What the school should improve

  • Staff do not consistently move pupils' learning on when they are ready to learn new things. This means that these pupils who are capable of more do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that all staff have the expertise to support pupils' learning effectively.
  • The learning activities provided for children in the early years do not always ensure that they build on what they already know and can do. This slows their learning. The school should ensure that learning tasks deliberately build children's knowledge and skills over time.
