What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 November 2023

The vision of family, faith and fellowship is central to this school. Leaders have developed a warm and welcoming community. Working relationships between staff and pupils are extremely positive. Staff know individual pupils very well, which ensures that they are safe in school. Pupils are polite, kind and proud of their school. Staff motivate pupils to learn and enjoy being in school. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils have positive attitudes to learning in the classroom. The school campuses are calm and orderly places. This includes in early years, where children share well and show respect for each other. Students in the sixth form have the opportunity to become peer mentors to support younger pupils in the school. All pupils have access to a wide variety of extra opportunities. These include a range of sports clubs and a gospel choir at primary. In the secondary phase pupils access many opportunities, including climate, pottery and master chef clubs. The school ensures that pupils have opportunities to take part in competitions and events. These include poetry and short story competitions and workshops delivered by visiting authors.

What the school should improve

  • On occasion, teaching does not consistently check pupils' understanding and identify misconceptions. This means that sometimes pupils are not fully ready to learn new content and commit knowledge to their long-term memory. The school should develop the expertise of all teachers so that they consistently identify and address any gaps in pupils' understanding.
