What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
'Believe and achieve to be the best that you can be' is the vision that underpins everything at St Michael's. Caring adults nurture pupils. Staff take the time to know the pupils well. They understand pupils' individual needs and know how to support them. Pupils behave well. They are kind to each other. Pupils demonstrate the ten school values. Pupils know staff will help them if they have worries. Bullying is rare. Pupils know what different types of bullying may look like. Pupils show positive attitudes to their work and encourage others to do the same. The school is a calm and purposeful place. Leaders provide a range of opportunities for pupils to develop their interests. This includes holding a talent show for pupils to share their talents. Pupils take part in extra- curricular clubs and residential visits. Leaders carefully consider how pupils will develop their self-esteem and independence. There is a thriving sense of community, where older pupils play alongside the younger ones. The St Michael's curriculum allows for pupils to engage with stimulating activities in the outdoors. This includes creating an award-winning legacy garden recognised at the Lincolnshire Show.
What the school should improve
- Leaders do not have a consistent approach to assess if pupils know and remember the essential knowledge set out in the curriculum. In some subjects, pupils do not always remember the most important knowledge as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that teachers use assessment to check more precisely that all pupils know and remember the essential knowledge set out in the curriculum.
