What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to school. They value spending time with their teachers and their friends. They appreciate the care that staff provide. Pupils build strong relationships with the staff and with each other. They are confident and well mannered. They speak politely with visitors. Pupils behave well throughout the school. Classrooms are generally calm and purposeful. This allows pupils to try their best during lessons. They have positive attitudes to their learning. The school is highly ambitious for pupils' achievement. These aspirations extend to pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The personal, social and emotional support that the school provides contributes strongly to pupils' academic success. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities that help to develop their individual talents and interests. For example, pupils spoke excitedly about residential trips and local visits to different religious buildings, which promote their understanding of other faiths. Pupils are proud of their various roles and responsibilities. These include representing their classmates on the school council and acting as members of the eco-council. Pupils are proud of the positive contribution that they make to projects in the local community, such as serving refreshments to parishioners following a church service.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school has not clearly defined the important knowledge it wishes pupils to learn. This hampers the delivery of these subjects. It also makes it difficult for teachers to check that pupils have remembered their learning. This means that pupils' knowledge is not as secure as the school intends. The school should ensure that the curriculum clearly identifies the key knowledge that pupils should learn.
- Some pupils do not have a secure knowledge of fundamental British values. They do not understand how British values could help them to make positive life choices. The school should ensure that pupils gain a greater understanding of fundamental British values so that they are better prepared for life in modern Britain.
