Ofsted
Good Inspected 5 July 2022
Strengths
- “The pupils’ happiness and excitement are seen and felt as they enter the school gates.”
- “Their exuberance brings life and energy to this school.”
- “Pupils are safe because they show kindness towards each other, and the staff are ‘warm, welcoming, and caring’.”
To improve
- “Opportunities to deepen children’s understanding and learning are not maximised.”
- “This is because staff sometimes miss opportunities to ask probing questions or prompt children in deepening their thinking or understanding.”
