What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 November 2023
Pupils are eager to come to this happy and welcoming school. They arrive with smiles on their faces and are keen to start the day. Throughout the school, there is a strong focus on nurturing the whole child. All staff promote the school's inclusive and Christian values of love, friendship and respect. These are carefully woven through all aspects of school life. There is a strong sense of community, where everyone looks after and cares for each other. Pupils recognise this and know that staff will help them with any problems or worries that they may have. Parents are very positive about the school, for example describing it as somewhere 'where staff go out of their way to include all children and help them flourish'. Pupils' behaviour is a strength. They listen with keen interest during lessons and support each other very well with their learning. Staff have very high expectations of all pupils and expect them to work hard and achieve their best. Pupils live up to these expectations and achieve very well across the school. Pupils are proud of their school. They talk enthusiastically about the variety of clubs on offer including martial arts, netball and choir.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, what leaders intend pupils to be taught is not consistently delivered by staff. As a result, some teaching does not have the impact it could, and pupils do not always know more and remember more over time. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum in every subject is delivered as intended, so that pupils can build on their knowledge over time.
- Occasionally, staff do not use assessment well enough to move pupils' learning on. This means that some pupils have limited chances to apply what they know in different contexts. Leaders need to ensure that staff use assessment information well to design learning experiences that enable pupils to apply what they know.
