What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 October 2023
Pupils and staff flourish at this welcoming and harmonious school. Pupils arrive happily in the mornings. They greet their teachers and their friends with big smiles. There are caring and respectful relationships between all members of the school community. At Saint Barnabas, pupils encourage each other to be their 'best selves'. The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils live up to these expectations. They understand how the school values guide them to work hard and achieve well. Pupils take pride in their work and celebrate the achievements of their peers. Pupils set themselves high standards for behaviour and they behave well. Adults in school are consistent in how they apply the simple school rules. Pupils feel secure because they know what is expected of them. They know who to go to if they have a worry and trust adults to deal with any concerns. The school plans a range of visits and activities that support pupils' learning in meaningful ways. Pupils talk enthusiastically about trips to concerts, galleries and museums. Pupils can join clubs including art, dodgeball, colouring, research and fact-finding, and prayer club.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not ensured that new learning is delivered in a way that helps pupils remember it securely. This means that pupils are not able to recall key knowledge in some subjects confidently. The school should continue to develop strategies that support pupils to remember important information over time.
