Good Inspected 6 June 2024
Strengths
- “The school has high expectations of its pupils.”
- “Pupils achieve exceedingly well in national tests for reading and mathematics, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “In the early years, children get off to an excellent start, particualrly in developing a wide, rich vocabulary and strong early writing skills.”
To improve
- “Currently, the school is redeveloping some aspects of the curriculum where the key knowledge to be learned is less clearly defined than in the rest of the curriculum.”
- “Where this is the case, teaching does not emphasise the most important concepts and, as a result, pupils find it difficult to recall some of the content they have been taught.”
- “Outcomes in other subjects are more variable, and particularly in subjects where the curriculum is not as well developed.”
