Overview: Green Crescent School is an independent day school for pupils aged 4 to 11 with an Islamic ethos. The school has a caring ethos and a welcoming community, with pupils being happy, polite, and proud of their school. However, the school requires improvement in the quality of education and personal development.
Strengths:
- Pupils are happy, polite, and use their manners well in everyday interactions and routines.
- Staff place pupils' welfare at the heart of their work and create a welcoming school.
- Pupils are proud of the school's close-knit community and feel safe, valued, and secure.
- The school has a clear understanding of its responsibilities for safeguarding and has effective arrangements in place.
- The school's new behaviour systems are effective, and pupils earn rewards and respond positively to the school's routines and expectations.
- Pupils learn about the value of kindness, the impact of good deeds, and the importance of tolerance and respect for others' views.
Areas to improve:
- The school's phonics programme is not taught consistently well across the school, and pupils who need extra help do not always receive the right support.
- Not all staff have the expertise to deliver the intended curriculum, and some activities pupils complete do not help them to deepen their understanding of important content.
- The school has not ensured that staff have sufficient knowledge to adapt learning well enough for pupils with SEND, and pupils with SEND do not access the curriculum as effectively as they should.
- The school's curriculum has not helped pupils to have an age-appropriate understanding of fundamental British values and protected groups in society.
Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
