What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2023
Pupils at Trinity Academy St Chad's are confident, articulate and welcoming. They enjoy coming to school and appreciate everything they do at school. Leaders have the highest expectations for every child, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils' behaviour at all times is exceptional. They are polite and offer cheerful greetings to adults. Pupils appreciate the care they receive from adults. They insist that there is no bullying and are confident that if it did occur, adults would deal with it swiftly. Anti-bullying ambassadors help to resolve issues relating to rare instances of unkindness and report that they never have to deal with bullying. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils learn how to be positive and active citizens of the future. They are aware of global issues and care about the environment. They learn to be enterprising. For example, staff give pupils a financial project to see who can make five pounds go the furthest. Leaders ensure that there are plentiful opportunities for pupils to carry out leadership roles. Pupils thrive in a range of roles, including as school councillors and worship leaders. Older pupils support younger peers as play leaders or buddies.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders and staff have not identified the most important knowledge that pupils need to learn in the time available. Where this is the case, learning can be superficial and pupils do not learn important knowledge. Leaders should work with teachers to help pupils to learn more deeply across all subjects.
