Ofsted rate us as a good school. They say, “Pupils are proud to attend this happy and welcoming school. Christian values are at the heart of life in this strong community. These values motivate pupils to be polite and respectful. Pupils enjoy their learning and work hard in lessons.” (February 2022, the report can be found below).
In April 2025, we had our SIAMs Inspection (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools). The report shows we are living up to our foundation as a Church school and are enabling pupils and adults to flourish. The full report can be found using the link below.
The strengths highlighted in the report are:
• Leaders have a clear, strategic plan that prioritises spiritual growth in addition to academic excellence. This ensures that pupils, including those considered vulnerable, are able to thrive.
• The deeply rooted Christian vision drives leaders’ work to ensure the school community lives well together. Through this compassionate and outward-looking culture, pupils and adults flourish in an inclusive environment where they feel free to be themselves.
• The wider curriculum offer is strong and supports the spiritual development of pupils. A shared language of spirituality is widely used and understood. This ensures they can express the impact of opportunities for spiritual development upon them.
• Collective worship is inclusive, vibrant and joyful. Consequently, pupils are engaged and calm, valuing the safe space for reflection and contemplation that is created.
• Religious education (RE) lessons are well-sequenced and varied, motivating pupils to think about their own beliefs and those of others. For this reason, RE makes a significant contribution to their spiritual development, deepening their understanding of a range of worldviews and faiths.
