Ofsted

OFSTED is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. They report directly to Parliament and are responsible for inspecting and regulating schools, pre-schools, nurseries, and any services caring for children and young people, as well as those providing education and skills for learners of all ages. Our last inspection was carried out in December 2022 when we maintained our 'Good' grade.

The inspector discovered:

‘This is a happy school where pupils are well looked after and cared for’, and a pupil commented ‘it’s like being part of one big family. Teachers make learning fun and give us freedom to learn.'

SIAMS

SIAMS inspection focuses on the impact of the Church school's Christian vision on pupils and adults. This involves looking at the school’s Christian vision, the provision the school makes because of this vision and how effective this provision is in enabling all pupils to flourish. Church schools will employ a variety of strategies and styles appropriate to, and reflective of, their particular context in order to be distinctively and effectively Christian in their character and ethos. SIAMS inspectors, therefore, do not look for a set template of what a Church school should be like, but rather take the particular context of the school into account and base their evaluation on the outcomes rather than the process.  

Our last inspection was carried out in February 2023 when we achieved the highest grading of excellence in all areas. 

‘Leaders and pupils are unswerving in their commitment to love and encourage one another in the pursuit of flourishing.’

‘Pupils thrive within a vibrant curriculum they offer. They exercise their curiosity and creativity in ways that contribute significantly to their academic and spiritual development.’
