Pupils enjoy attending this school and would recommend it to others. The environment is calm and orderly, and pupils are kind and respectful to each other. Pupils have adults they can speak with if any worries or concerns should arise. This helps to ensure that pupils feel safe and are kept safe each day. Leaders have introduced some more time for teaching of the secular curriculum. The teaching of English and mathematics are now a focus of each afternoon. However, this is still in its infancy. Teachers do not have strong enough subject knowledge to teach the curriculum well or to check pupils’ understanding. This limits what pupils know and remember. Pupils, including children in early years and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are not well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils receive personal, social and health education (PSHE), including relationships education. However, pupils have limited understanding of different faiths and cultures. This means that pupils are not well prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils enjoy the opportunities they have to visit the local area. Older pupils look forward to their residential trip. Pupils make a positive contribution to the local area. For example, they raise money for charity and sing at a local care home.
