What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 November 2022
Pupils really enjoy coming to St John of Jerusalem. Parents and carers described with pride the family feel of the school. Pupils said that this school is a place where they learn a lot and everyone is good friends. Pupils like the wide range of experiences that they have, for example learning to play the steel pans and having Spanish lessons. Leaders have made sure that the curriculum in all subjects has a well-sequenced and coherent plan. This means that teachers know exactly what they want pupils to learn. Teachers expect the best from all pupils and want them to do well. Pupils work hard and help each other in lessons. Pupils know and understand leaders' expectations for behaviour. Pupils said that generally others are well behaved and that they can concentrate on their learning. They understand what bullying is and how it can affect others. Pupils are safe in school. If they ever have any concerns, pupils know that they can speak with staff. Any issues, including potential bullying, are dealt with appropriately. Pupils learn that it is important to keep fit. They enjoy beginning each day by running the daily mile around the school grounds. Pupils then come into lessons, settling into their learning quickly.
What the school should improve
- Revised approaches to identifying and supporting pupils with SEND are not fully embedded. This means that, in some instances, staff are not as clear as they could be in knowing how to meet pupils' needs. Leaders should ensure that their approaches for identifying and supporting pupils with SEND are consistently strong. This includes making sure that staff are clear about the exact next steps pupils need to take to overcome any barriers to learning well.
- In a few instances, record-keeping does not capture all the actions taken to promote pupils' well-being and behaviour. Because of this, leaders occasionally lack sufficiently clear information on how their work is securing improvements over time. Leaders should build on their existing work to strengthen record- keeping.
