Pupils are happy at this school. They value the warm, supportive relationships that they have with staff. Pupils told inspectors that staff ‘really care’ about how they feel. They know that their school is accepting of everyone and that no-one is left out. Pupils enjoy a growing number of opportunities to be involved in school life. Older pupils show great pride when they talk about helping their younger peers, for example as reading ambassadors and playtime leaders. Pupils spoke positively about some of the recent changes at school, such as increased ways that pupils can take part in sports activities. Pupils understand that the school has high expectations for them. They live up to these expectations by demonstrating the St Chad’s values. Pupils behave well. They treat each other with kindness and respect. The school is ambitious for all pupils. However, weaknesses in the delivery of the curriculum mean that many pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), do not achieve as highly as they should. The trust is supporting the school to strengthen the quality of education that it provides for pupils. There is a clear understanding of what needs to improve.
