Strengths

“Christ the King is a school where pupils are at the heart of everything.”
“Warm greetings from staff create a positive and welcoming start to the day.”
“The exceptional early years provision builds a strong foundation for learning, ensuring that children feel supported and inspired from the start.”

To improve

“However, in Years 1 to 6, the curriculum in a few subjects is not currently fully embedded.”
“As a result, there are times when pupils do not make strong connections between their prior learning and new knowledge and skills in order to build up their understanding.”

Safeguarding: Effective
