What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 October 2023
The school values of 'we act with love, build our faith and grow as people' are threaded through all aspects of daily life. Pupils strive to live up to these values and understand the importance of being a kind and caring citizen. Parents are effusive in their praise for the school. One parent commented, 'The school has a lovely community spirit and children are happy to come to school.' Throughout the school, pupils work very hard in their lessons. There is a calm and purposeful learning environment. This starts as soon as pupils enter their classrooms in the morning. Because of the school's high expectations, pupils behave well and focus to ensure they complete their learning. Pupils enjoy talking about their work, for example to share the wonderful artwork they have created or to discuss their latest science experiment. Pupils value the interesting range of clubs and opportunities. They relish the challenges of the chess club and participating in different sports events. Older pupils take pride in their leadership roles. They cannot wait to support younger children during 'buddy time' or when sharing a book with others.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum has been recently introduced, so older pupils have not benefited from learning it since the start of their time in school. Consequently, pupils have variable recall of the most important knowledge and skills in a few subjects. The school should ensure that staff are supported to accurately identify gaps in pupils' understanding and use this to inform their teaching to help pupils learn and remember more over time.
