Ofsted
Good Inspected 20 June 2023
Strengths
- “Leaders encourage pupils to respect one another and to help others.”
- “They guide pupils to love learning and to be confident.”
- “Many parents and carers commented that this is a friendly school and that pupils make friends easily.”
To improve
- “However, in some other areas of the early years, curriculum thinking is not as coherent as it could be.”
- “In these areas, the school has not considered what children learn and when in as much detail as they could.”
- “However, sometimes teachers do not routinely check that pupils know and understand key learning before they move on.”
