What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 October 2022
Pupils love coming to school every morning. This is a very friendly, nurturing and welcoming school community. Pupils describe their teachers as being kind and caring. Pupils are proud to discuss and recite their school motto: 'Live, Love and Learn Together in the Light of the Life of Christ'. Staff have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They want every pupil to achieve well. Leaders ensure that all learners progress well. Behaviour of pupils in lessons is calm and attentive. They are polite and respectful to adults. Pupils are safe and know who to talk to when they have any concerns. Pupils know that bullying and hurtful words are never tolerated. When bullying does happen, it is immediately followed up and resolved by staff. Leaders create many opportunities for pupils to develop their leadership skills. For example, staff train pupils to become ambassadors who support other pupils in their reading, sporting activities and safe travel. Pupils experience many exciting and carefully planned visits linked to their learning.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have implemented a new approach to curriculum development in some foundation subjects which is not fully embedded. As a result, pupils have not had the opportunities to develop secure knowledge and skills in these subjects. Leaders need to continue to provide professional development for staff and refine and embed the changes they have made to the curriculum.
