Ofsted
Outstanding Inspected 9 July 2024
Strengths
- “The values of faith, unity and excellence are embedded in this warm and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils are a delight to talk to, they are proud and happy to attend the school and love to discuss their learning and the wider experiences they enjoy.”
- “Pupils are safe and know that if they have any concerns, they can alert staff by using the classroom ‘talk boxes’ or talking to a trusted adult.”
To improve
- “In early years, the curriculum is new and parts of it are still embedding.”
- “However, for a few areas of the curriculum there is less clarity about the key knowledge that should be learned.”
- “Consequently, there is some variability in how well adults support pupils with their learning and a few activities are not as purposeful as others in the provision.”
