What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 May 2022

St Saviour's Junior Church School is a welcoming and caring school that embraces all pupils. They are ambassadors of the school's values. Pupils know that everyone is different and that all will be included in their school. Pupils are proud to be members of their school community. Members of the school council, members of the e-team, playtime leaders and house captains support the calm and purposeful atmosphere in school. They help staff provide a rich range of extra- curricular activities. Pupils and staff are particularly proud of their Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) platinum award for their outside play area. There are many opportunities for pupils to develop both socially and academically. Visits, trips and after-school clubs mean that all pupils can develop talents and pursue their interests. Pupils live up to the high expectations set by adults. Pupils behave well and listen attentively in lessons. Pupils are polite and courteous to each other. This allows for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve well. Pupils feel safe in school. They say that their teachers act quickly to resolve any bullying.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, leaders are in the process of refining the sequence of knowledge they want pupils to learn. This means that teachers are unable to identify the essential knowledge and help pupils build on prior learning. Leaders should finalise these subject curriculums to ensure that teachers have the information they need to build pupils' knowledge across all subjects.
  • Leaders' approach to assessment in some subjects is at an early stage. This means that teachers do not check on how well pupils have learned the curriculum. In these subjects, pupils' learning is inconsistent. Leaders should ensure that there are effective assessment systems in place to check whether pupils know and remember the intended knowledge.
