Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
A strong Christian ethos runs through the school. Pupils thoroughly understand the school values of friendship, perseverance, respect and courage. Pupils demonstrate these values by treating each other with dignity and respect. Pupils feel safe in school. They have trusted adults to talk to if they have any concerns.
The school has high expectations for all pupils, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils typically achieve well. They are enthusiastic about their learning and have a keen interest in the different areas of the curriculum.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has designed a curriculum that is ambitious for all pupils. Teachers have strong subject knowledge. They select appropriate activities to deliver the curriculum. Teachers regularly check pupils' knowledge to check their progress throughout the curriculum. This allows teachers to identify and address any gaps in pupils' knowledge and misconceptions well.
In most subjects, leaders have carefully selected the knowledge they want pupils to learn. They have organised this knowledge in a logical order to build in complexity over time. In a small number of subjects, the content is not sequenced in a logical order. This means that some pupils do not fully develop the knowledge that they need.
