What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils are proud to be a part of the St Saviour's family. They are greeted warmly each day by staff and the school's therapy dogs, Waffle, Maggie and Mollie. Pupils feel safe and trust that staff will listen to any worries or concerns that they may have. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/ or disabilities (SEND), rise to meet the high expectations that the school has for their academic achievement. Pupils are highly articulate and keen to share their thoughts and opinions about their learning. They listen, collaborate, debate and support each other to achieve well. Pupils behave well in classrooms and around the school building. They are polite, well mannered and demonstrate high levels of respect for each other and for staff and visitors. Pupils have a strong understanding of the importance of tolerance. They are keen to celebrate the many differing cultures and faiths that co-exist within the school. The impact that pupils have on the day-to-day life of the school is tangible and highly impressive. One such example is in the pupil-led school shop where other pupils get to visit, bank or spend their well-earned tokens. Pupils across the school hold an array of leadership positions as school councillors, road safety officers or mental health ambassadors.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers are still developing the knowledge and expertise that they need to teach some aspects of the new curriculums. At times, teachers do not check that pupils have learned all that they should. This interrupts some pupils from progressing smoothly through these curriculums. The school should ensure that staff are suitably equipped to deliver the new curriculums so that pupils know and remember more of the subjects they study.
- Some pupils are absent from school too often. This means that they miss out on key learning and the wider opportunities that the school provides. The school should widen its systems for addressing the barriers to pupils' regular attendance so that the rates of persistent absenteeism reduce further.
