What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 November 2023
Pupils at St Martin's readily articulate the pride they have in their school. Comments made by pupils, such as 'No matter who you are, you can belong here,' capture the inclusive nature of this school community. Pupils appreciate the small and friendly environment. They say that 'everyone knows each other'. This is evident at breaktimes as pupils across different age groups come together enthusiastically to organise fun games and activities in the playground. Parents agree with the views of their children. They also value the nurturing and caring ethos that their children experience here. The school values of 'respect, friendship, courage and creativity' are evident in the attitudes of the pupils. High expectations and well-established routines mean that behaviour is exemplary. In lessons, pupils are eager to engage in purposeful learning. Consequently, pupils are entrusted with a wide range of leadership responsibilities. They are proud of the jobs they do, such as being school ambassadors, school councillors, house captains or 'stewards of God's earth' leaders. Pupils respect the influence these roles carry. They thoughtfully improve their school, for example by creating posters to remind everyone to conserve water, or by carefully selecting the outdoor play equipment.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, some safeguarding records lack sufficient detail about the action taken in response to an incident. This means vital information could be missed. Leaders need to make sure that all actions are clearly and consistently recorded.
- The school has recently redeveloped the curriculum in the foundation subjects. Currently, not all teachers have had the necessary training to fully deliver this new curriculum. In addition, the school is not always clear on how well pupils are learning in each subject. The school needs to ensure that appropriate training, support and monitoring are in place to be assured that pupils are learning well across the school's curriculum.
