What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 October 2022

Pupils, staff, parents and governors are proud of their school. Pupils are happy to come to school. They thrive in the calm and purposeful environment. One pupil summed up the views of many by describing the school as 'caring, loving, forgiving, playful and a school where you can believe in any religion'. Parents are very supportive of the school. Typical views were summed up by a comment from one parent, 'There is a real sense of community; families are welcomed and encouraged to join in with school life and events.' Pupils want to learn and they work hard. They rise to teachers' high expectations to flourish personally, socially and academically. They know that everyone supports them to do their very best. One parent said, 'The inclusive and supportive atmosphere of the school is evident from the moment you visit.' Pupils behave well and feel safe and secure. Staff know the pupils very well and there are positive, trusting relationships. Pupils say bullying is rare but they know they can share any concerns or worries they may have and that they will be listened to. The school values of 'hope, joy, peace, faith, love and unity' are at the heart of all the school does. Pupils get on well together and value the friendships they make.

What the school should improve

  • The implementation of the well-designed and ambitious curriculum intent is not fully embedded in all areas. This means that there is not always the rigour and consistency in the delivery of the curriculum. Leaders need to continue their work to monitor the implementation to ensure that the curriculum is fully embedded and consistently meets their high expectations in all subjects.
  • The early years provision is not consistently supporting the delivery of the well- designed and sequenced early years curriculum. Children's learning opportunities are not always as effective as they could be. Leaders need to further refine and build on the positive changes that have already taken place in the early years to ensure that the quality of the provision is fully effective.
