What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 January 2023

Pupils enjoy coming to school. The school's Christian values are woven through the heart of school life. Pupils behave well and are 'ready, respectful and safe'. They look after and support each other. Pupils who are new to the school soon settle in. Staff have high expectations of pupils and model them well. Pupils are motivated to meet these high expectations. They have positive attitudes to learning. Staff encourage and support pupils to do well in their lessons. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils live up to the vision of 'living and learning together, celebrating life in all its fullness'. Pupils say that bullying is very rare. They feel confident that adults will listen to any concerns that they have. They value the rewards system and say that it is fair. Pupils feel safe in school. They say that their teachers look after them well. Pupils enjoy being librarians and lunchtime helpers. They are proud of the history of their school. Pupils loved their whole-school history community project. Their 'school museum' brought members of the community together. Pupils talk with enthusiasm about their roles as tour guides.

What the school should improve

  • The curriculums for some foundation subjects are new and not embedded yet. Some pupils do not have rich and deep knowledge in these subjects. Leaders should continue with their plans to embed these curriculums to the same extent as the other curriculums in school.
  • Some pupils find it difficult to talk about their understanding of British values. While key learning points are promoted through assemblies and displays around the school, leaders should ensure that this aspect of the curriculum is taught more explicitly to pupils. This will help to deepen pupils' understanding of this aspect of their social and cultural development.
