What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 June 2023
Pupils, and children in the early years, are happy and safe in this welcoming school. They are proud of the school and enjoy their learning. Pupils understand the school's Christian values of community, hope, wisdom and dignity. They can talk about what they mean, for example as 'pillars that hold the school up'. Leaders have high expectations of pupils and how they work together. They encourage pupils to take responsibility for their actions. Pupils show this by having high expectations of themselves. One pupil explained, 'We don't have rules, we have responsibilities.' Behaviour is generally good. Pupils are respectful of each other as part of one school community. They can talk about protected characteristics and understand what they mean. They understand 'differences', including special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Bullying is rare. When it happens, teachers deal with it. The school has an approach called BOO (Being mean, On purpose, Over again) to help pupils understand about bullying. Pupils value this approach. They say it has helped reduce bullying and improved how staff deal with concerns. They are confident about how teachers help them to resolve issues in school.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not clarified the most important knowledge in a small number of subjects. This means teachers do not always assess the most significant aspects of knowledge pupils should know. As a result, pupils do not recall or connect ideas with enough detail. Leaders should ensure the most important knowledge is clear for all foundation subjects so that teachers can assess accurately against these.
- Teachers do not always have the subject knowledge to use assessment information well enough in a small number of foundation subjects. This hinders them from accurately planning what pupils should learn next. Sometimes this means pupils move on too quickly before securely mastering the most important knowledge and skills. Leaders should ensure teachers have subject knowledge so that they can make accurate decisions about when learning should be recapped.
