p.1

Overall effectiveness Requires improvement

Does the school meet the independent school standards?

p.1

What is it like to attend this school?

Pupils, and students in the sixth form, at this school are warmly greeted each morning by their teachers. Those pupils who are new to the school quickly settle into school life. Pupils are happy in the friendly, calm environment that the school provides. Pupils across the school enjoy spending social times together.

p.2

What is it like to attend this school?

Teachers expect pupils to listen carefully and to try their best in lessons. Pupils rise to these expectations. They are polite and well-mannered. They are keen to earn merits for their behaviour and learning and to be recognised on the school honour roll.

p.2

What is it like to attend this school?

The school has high expectations for pupils’ achievement, including those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). In some subjects, these expectations are realised. However, in some other subjects the curriculum does not enable pupils to learn all that they should to prepare them for the next stage of their education. This hinders how well pupils achieve in these subjects.

p.2

What is it like to attend this school?

Pupils are taught to treat others with kindness and respect. They experience opportunities to learn about some of the differences among people in their local community and in the wider world. For example, they learn about some other faiths and cultures. However, pupils have a limited understanding of British values, such as democracy and the rule of law. In addition, there are few opportunities for pupils to engage in experiences to develop their talents and interests. Pupils are not as prepared for life in modern Britain as they could be.

p.2

better?

The school follows a Bible-based curriculum. Leaders have built on this curriculum to ensure that a broad range of learning is provided. The school successfully identifies the additional needs of pupils who may have SEND. Staff ensure that these pupils are supported to access the same curriculum as their peers.

p.2

better?

The curriculums in some subjects are well developed. Teachers’ knowledge in these subjects is secure. In lessons, teachers check that pupils understand their learning. In these subjects, learning is designed to support pupils, and students in the sixth form, to make connections in their learning and deepen their knowledge and understanding of key concepts over time. This enables pupils to achieve well in these subjects.

p.2

better?

This is not the case in some other subjects. The curriculums that staff deliver in these subjects are not planned or designed sufficiently well to support pupils to develop a secure body of subject knowledge. Consequently, pupils have some misconceptions and gaps in their knowledge of these subjects. Pupils are not fully prepared for the next stage of education in these subjects. 7 to 9 November 2023 The curriculum design in the early years lacks ambition and does not meet the learning and development requirements of the early years statutory framework. The school has not provided staff in the early years with the appropriate training or support to design and deliver the curriculum effectively. This limits children’s readiness for their next steps.

p.2

better?

The school has made learning to read from the start a priority. Staff promote children’s early reading skills as soon as they join the school. These youngest children enjoy listening to sounds in the environment and sharing nursery rhymes and songs. Staff teach phonics well so that by the end of key stage 1, most pupils are confident, fluent readers. Pupils who find learning to read difficult are provided with appropriate and timely support.

p.3

better?

The school is calm and orderly. Pupils benefit from lessons that proceed without interruption. Pupils’ positive relationships with staff mean that they are confident to ask questions and check their understanding. Pupils value the mutually respectful atmosphere in school. Older pupils take pride in supporting younger pupils in their learning.

p.3

better?

The school provides pupils with opportunities to develop leadership qualities by being team leaders and carrying out lunchtime jobs. Pupils learn to consider the needs of others, for example through charity collections for foodbanks. The school ensures that pupils learn about how to keep themselves safe, including when they are working or playing online. However, secondary-age pupils have limited opportunities to find out about potential careers, for example through work experience. This hinders some pupils in making well-informed choices about their next steps.

p.3

better?

Pupils of primary age benefit from appropriate relationships education. However, pupils of secondary age do not receive appropriate relationships and sex (RSE) learning. This learning does not provide these pupils with the information that they need to help them to develop healthy relationships.

p.3

better?

The proprietor body has not ensured that the independent school standards (‘the standards’) are consistently and securely met. The proprietor body has not met some standards pertaining to pupils’ welfare, health and safety, premises and accommodation.

p.3

better?

The proprietor body has not checked the school’s new premises to ensure that it is suitable and safe. There are a number of failings. These include a lack of hot water in the boys’ toilets and no showers for pupils aged 11 years or over who receive physical education. Furthermore, there is no suitable accommodation for the short- term care of sick and injured pupils.

p.3

better?

The proprietor body has not ensured compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For example, there is no information provided for pupils, staff or visitors regarding fire evacuation routes. 7 to 9 November 2023 During the inspection, the school were unable to provide inspectors with information and policies relating to a number of areas of the school provision, including evidence of how complaints are handled.

p.3

better?

The proprietor body has not ensured that all of the required information is up to date and published on the school’s website.

p.4

better?

The proprietor body has failed to ensure that the school complies with schedule 10 of the Equality Act 2010 with regard to the provision of a suitable accessibility plan. Added to this, it has not ensured that it fulfils other statutory duties, such as the learning and development and safeguarding and welfare requirements of the early years foundation stage. For example, the proprietor body has not ensured that children access daily planned outdoor activities and that there are safe sleeping arrangements in place.

p.4

better?

The proprietor body is committed to ensuring that pupils receive a high-quality education. It has been distracted by its difficulties in resolving the considerable issues with the school’s previous premises and securing new premises at short notice. The proprietor body is aware of the shortcomings of the school’s current premises and accommodation. It has the capacity to address the areas for improvement identified in this inspection.

p.4

better?

Staff feel well supported by the school. The school is mindful of their workload and well-being when it makes changes to school policies and practices.

p.4

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.4

Safeguarding

Leaders ensure that staff know how to recognise and report any concerns about a pupil’s welfare. However, the proprietor body does not ensure that its checks on safeguarding records and that procedures are robust enough. Nor does it ensure that both staff and leaders’ safeguarding training is regular, up to date and informs safeguarding policy and practice. For example, contact telephone numbers are not recorded for pupils in the school’s admissions register, and leaders were unable to share the current safeguarding policy or up-to-date training records relating to safer recruitment.

p.4

(Information for the school and proprietor)

 In some subjects, the school has not ensured that the work given to pupils enables them to develop detailed knowledge in that subject. As a result, some pupils do not acquire the depth of knowledge that they need. The school should ensure that staff are trained and supported to provide pupils with work that deepens their knowledge over time. 7 to 9 November 2023  The curriculum in the early years is not well designed or sufficiently ambitious. Added to this, staff in the early years are not suitably trained. As a result, children are not well prepared for their next stage in education. The school should ensure that staff in the early years are clear about the important knowledge that children need to know and remember in readiness for their future learning.  The school has not ensured that pupils learn all that they should to be ready for life in modern Britain. As a result, pupils are not as well prepared as they could be

to become responsible and active citizens. The school should ensure that all pupils experience a range of high-quality personal development opportunities, including suitable careers and RSE programmes to prepare them for adulthood.  The proprietor body has not carried out its statutory responsibilities or ensured that the standards are met consistently. As a result, there are a number of weaknesses in the school’s arrangements for pupils’ welfare, health and safety, as well as issues with the school’s premises. The proprietor body should ensure that its safeguarding arrangements, health and safety practices and school premises meet statutory requirements.

p.7

Information about this inspection

 Inspections are a point-in-time judgement about the quality of a school’s education provision.  This was the first routine inspection the school received since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Inspectors discussed the impact of the pandemic with leaders and have taken that into account in their evaluation of the school.  Inspectors met with the deputy headteacher of the school. The lead inspector spoke with other school leaders as well as members of the proprietor body, including the chair. She also spoke with a representative of the local authority where the school was previously located.  Inspectors carried out deep dives in early reading, science and personal, social, health and economic education.

pupils’ work.  Inspectors also looked at curriculum plans in some other subjects. They also spoke to pupils about their learning in these subjects and looked at samples of their work.  The lead inspector observed pupils from key stages 1 and 2 reading to a familiar adult. 7 to 9 November 2023  To evaluate the effectiveness of safeguarding, the inspectors reviewed the single central record, took account of the views of leaders, staff and pupils and considered the extent to which the school has created an open and positive culture around safeguarding that puts pupils’ interests first.  Inspectors spoke with pupils about their wider experience of school. They observed pupils’ behaviour in lessons and around the school.  Inspectors talked with staff and leaders about their workload and well-being.  Inspectors took account of the responses to Ofsted’s online surveys for staff and pupils.

the free-text responses.  The lead inspector carried out a tour of the school. Inspectors checked documentation and met with leaders to check the school’s compliance with the standards.

p.8

The school’s proposed change to its premises

The school has applied to the DfE to make a ‘material change’ to its registration. At the DfE’s request, we checked whether the school meets the relevant independent school standards if the DfE decides to approve the change. This part of the inspection was carried out under section 162 (4) of the Education Act 2002.

p.8

The school’s proposed change to its premises

 The outcome of this part of the inspection is: the school does not meet the

p.8

independent school standards relevant to the material change. The

material change has already been implemented.  The school’s new premises and accommodation are used day to day as a church hall. At the time of the inspection, these premises and accommodation were unsuitable because there were no shower facilities, adequate hot water supply or suitable accommodation for the short-term care of sick and injured pupils. In addition, the proprietor body has not ensured compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Policies relating to the welfare, health and safety of pupils have not been reviewed to reflect the material change regarding the new premises.
