Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils are excited to learn and look forward to coming to school each day. Visitors receive a warm welcome here. Pupils are proud of their school and enjoy talking about their learning. They feel safe here. The small team of highly dedicated staff take great care to get to know pupils and their families well. Pupils know there are trusted adults they can talk to if they have any worries or concerns.
The school has high expectations for behaviour and pupils strive to meet these. The environment in lessons and around the school is calm and purposeful. Everyone works to embody the school's 'ACE' values. Pupils look forward to the weekly assembly where they celebrate each other's achievements.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has a well-established behaviour system. Behaviour rarely disrupts learning. Pupils are focused in lessons and have highly positive attitudes to their education. This is because leaders have ensured that the school values, underpinned by the school's Christian ethos, are meaningful to pupils. Pupils know that they are part of a caring community and that their contributions are valued. This helps build confident and resilient learners.
There is a well-sequenced curriculum in place. The school has ambitious aims for the curriculum and in recent years, has developed the curriculum in many subjects. This has ensured that in most subjects, there is clarity about what the essential knowledge is that pupils should learn and how it builds on what pupils already know. For example, in history, pupils build their understanding of chronology and the connections between different civilisations, such as ancient Rome and ancient Egypt. In subjects in which the curriculum does not make clear the important knowledge that pupils should learn, pupils' understanding of some aspects of the curriculum is not secure.
