Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 23 March 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils arrive at school each day ready to learn and they enjoy being part of the school community.”
- “Many travel to school by scooter or bicycle, with pupils especially valuing the group cycle journeys that are organised for them.”
- “Pupils also enjoy spending time with their friends and teachers and learning about the wider world.”
To improve
- “Although behaviour can sometimes become more boisterous during less structured times, pupils continue to feel safe and happy.”
- “At times, however, behaviour during less structured parts of the day, such as breaktimes and lunchtimes, does not meet leaders’ expectations.”
- “However, some approaches are not used consistently, such as how teaching checks for understanding and then adjusts learning based on information obtained from these checks.”
