From Ofsted report, inspected Apr 2024

Strengths

  • “Pupils thrive in this happy and supportive school.”
  • “They are proud of its inclusive ethos and being a member of the ‘Christ Church family’.”
  • “Staff work in very close partnership with parents and carers and the community to deliver a positive experience for pupils.”

To improve

  • “On occasion, there are inconsistencies in the implementation of the school’s ambitious curriculum.”
  • “Teachers sometimes do not check that all pupils fully understand what they have been learning.”
  • “This means that some pupils, including those with SEND or who are new to learning English, are not able to connect important knowledge and skills.”
