Inspection Reports
Ofsted
Ofsted last visited our school in May 2026. We were judged to be Strong in all areas and recognised as a school where “pupils are supported well to become confident, independent and resilient learners.”
We are delighted with both the report and the findings of the two inspectors who visited our school. They highlighted many strengths, including:
-
Our Early Years provision, where “well-established practice and diligent checks ensure that children benefit from an ambitious curriculum and responsive care.”
-
Our behaviour culture, described as “warm and positive.”
-
Our curriculum, which is “broad and suitably ambitious for pupils in their mixed-age classes.”
-
Our inclusive approach, ensuring that “disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) get the support that they need. They benefit from the full curriculum and the wider life of the school.”
-
Our leadership and governance, with leaders and governors having “established an ambitious vision and direction for the school.”

SIAMS
We are proud to announce that in November 2023, under the new SIAMS Framework, our school has told that it is living up to its foundation as a Church school.
The inspector enjoyed spending time with our wonderful Howick Community and established that;
- The vision’s biblical foundation is understood and cherished as a source of courage, strength and joy. Integrated into every aspect of school life, the vision is a lived reality. Thus, pupils develop into confident and resilient individuals equipped to persevere and thrive.
- Highly motivated leaders, including governors, are deeply committed to the development of the school as a Church school. Strategic decisions and actions are shaped by a desire to bring the vision to fruition.
- Engaging collective worship beautifully expresses the vision to ‘be guided by our values’. As a result, pupils gain a remarkable insight into Christian values that shape their attitudes and behaviours. Opportunities for guided prayer and reflection within and beyond worship enable people to flourish spiritually.
- Leaders wholeheartedly ensure that the vision applies to all pupils and adults. This creates an open and loving culture of inclusion, which leads people to flourish.
- Impressive curricular and extracurricular opportunities enable pupils to gain a strong understanding of issues of justice. Pupils are empowered and impassioned to overcome the ‘challenges of our changing world’ as agents of change
