What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 July 2022
Pupils are happy here. They appreciate the small, caring, family ethos of the school. They are safe and report little, if any, bullying. They say if it does occur, it is always dealt with quickly by staff. 'Wonder boxes' are available for pupils to report any concerns they may have. They appreciate that teachers respond to these worries quickly and are always there to help them. Behaviour routines and expectations are embedded. Pupils behave well, both in lessons and around the school. Despite being in the middle of unprecedented hot weather, pupils' learning behaviour was consistently positive. They play together cooperatively in the playground and enjoy the chance to chat in the lunch hall. Leaders are ambitious that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), will do well. They have identified the knowledge they want pupils to learn across all subjects. This knowledge is well sequenced to promote greater understanding over time. It has been carefully thought through to meet the needs of the school and its context as the 'smallest school in Enfield'. Pupils benefit from a wide variety of clubs. Leaders are committed to 'finding' every pupil's talent and developing that through wider enrichment. Pupils are given opportunities to share their talents, for example the music performances at the church.
What the school should improve
- Curriculum plans are well sequenced. Leaders identify the key knowledge and essential vocabulary for pupils to learn. However, the full implementation of the school's curriculum is not yet firmly embedded, due to delays from the COVID-19 pandemic. At this point, only the first year of the two-year cycle has been implemented. Consequently, there are no well- established routines for the reinforcement of pupils' learning from previous years. Leaders should continue their work to ensure that the well-planned curriculum is fully embedded to enable pupils to deepen their knowledge and understanding over time.
