What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
Every pupil is known and valued as an individual at this welcoming, friendly school. The school's strong Christian values are at the heart of school life. Pupils thrive in an environment where they feel happy and are safe. The school has high expectations of learning and social development for all pupils. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Relationships between staff and pupils are kind and respectful. The school encourages pupils to 'be the best they can be'. Pupils have an exceptionally positive approach to learning in and out of the classroom. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They value the trust that staff place in them. Pupils take their responsibilities very seriously. They care about and look after each other and the school environment. Staff and pupils do not tolerate bullying of any kind. Pupils say that any disagreements are quickly resolved. Pupils are confident that staff will help them if they have any problems or worries. The provision for pupils' personal development is remarkable. Pupils benefit from a wide range of thoughtfully planned activities. These opportunities enrich the curriculum and pupils' wider experience. The school's aim to develop happy and responsible citizens is clear.
What the school should improve
- Some foundation subjects are at an earlier stage of implementation than others. This means that pupils do not have the breadth and depth of knowledge they need to support new learning in these subjects. The school should ensure that pupils have regular opportunities to learn, revisit and recall important subject knowledge across the whole curriculum.
