What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 February 2023
Pupils understand the core Christian values of the school, and conversations between pupils and staff reference them often. Relationships between staff and pupils are strong. Pupils are happy and say that they are proud of their school. Pupils say that they feel safe and fully involved in their school. One pupil commented, 'My school is special because it makes me feel like my voice is heard and has worth.' Staff have consistently high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils engage fully in lessons and demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning. They understand what it means to be resilient and actively help each other in lessons. Pupils can identify different types of bullying, including cyber-bullying. Leaders do not tolerate bullying. Pupils enjoy the opportunity to take on extra responsibilities and share their ideas. Ethos councillors have created an 'A-Z of ways to engage with the local community'. For 'U', pupils arranged a 'blue and yellow day' fundraising initiative for the situation in Ukraine. Pupils have access to a wide range of experiences which enhance their learning. In Year 6, pupils prepared a three-course meal for their parents. Pupils took on the role of waiters and waitresses.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, assessment processes are not fully developed. Teachers do not always check precisely what curriculum knowledge and skills pupils know and remember. Leaders should ensure that assessment processes are in place to enable teachers to check pupils' learning in all of the foundation subjects.
- Pupils' understanding of the fundamental British values is not fully secure. Pupils struggle to relate these values to their everyday lives. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum provides pupils with opportunities to reflect on the relevance of fundamental British values within their own lives, the local community and globally.
