What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 9 July 2024

St John's is a warm and welcoming school. Relationships are respectful and pupils are safe. The school's values of 'faith, strength, compassion, wisdom and hope' permeate all aspects of school life. Pupils know if they have a worry they can talk to a member of staff and that effective action will be taken. They are keen to make the most of the rich range of opportunities provided to develop their talents and interests. Staff have high expectations of what all pupils can achieve. Pupils learn a broad and stimulating range of subjects. Inclusion is at the heart of the school's curriculum. Teachers introduce learning in clear, manageable steps, so that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), consolidate their understanding of new ideas and concepts. Pupils behave well, both in lessons and around the school site. They are enthusiastic about their learning and make tangible contributions to school life. They relish opportunities to take up responsibilities, such as prefects, eco-warriors, music ambassadors and school council representatives.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, changes to the curriculum are more recent and not fully embedded. In these instances, staff are still getting used to delivering new curriculum content and addressing gaps in pupils' knowledge. The school should ensure that they embed the curriculum across all subjects and continue to develop staff expertise so that they can implement it with confidence.
