Strengths
- “At Christ Church, the school’s motto of ‘Learning with God and each other to be the best we can be’ is evident in all aspects of leaders’ work.”
- “Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils and want them to thrive in learning and life.”
- “They ensure that all pupils enjoy a visit to London and a residential visit, attend a live performance, visit an art gallery and participate in a sporting event during their time at school.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects the curriculum is less precise.”
- “In these subjects, the knowledge that teachers expect pupils to learn is not always identified clearly.”
- “This slows pupils’ learning in these subjects.”
