What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2022
Pupils are happy and feel safe at St Michael's. They develop positive relationships with staff and each other. As one pupil said, 'we have lovely teachers who help us to learn'. Leaders have woven the four 'R's of ready, responsible, respect and resilience into all aspects of school life. Teachers have high expectations of pupils' learning and their behaviour. Pupils rise to these expectations. They show positive attitudes to learning so lessons are rarely disrupted. Pupils behave well in class and around the school. Poor behaviour choices and incidents of bullying are rare. Pupils know that adults will deal with these if they happen. Leaders and teachers encourage pupils to embrace diversity and difference across the community. Pupils learn to reflect on aspects of faith and equality with sensitivity and respect. They know that equality means 'accepting that everyone is different and treating everyone the same'. Pupils describe their school as being 'a school for everyone'. Pupils like the words 'aspire' and 'courageous' in the school's vision because it helps them to be confident when trying new things. They have many opportunities to take on responsibilities such as becoming prefects, science ambassadors or eco-warriors. They work together to collect house points for their teams.
What the school should improve
- A small number of subjects are in the early stages of redevelopment. Pupils' learning does not always build on what they already know. Leaders should consider the design and sequencing of the curriculum in these subjects so that pupils know and remember more.
- Many parents appreciate the communication they receive from leaders. However some parents feel that communication between home and school is not always as effective as it could be. Some parents are concerned that leaders do not respond to issues they raise in a timely manner and do not feel fully informed. Leaders, including governors, should ensure that they improve communication between home and school.
