School remains Good Inspected 13 July 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils appreciate leaders’ ambition that everyone feels special, has hope and a reason to smile.”
- “Pupils feel at ease and enjoy one another’s company and are respectful towards adults.”
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, curriculum thinking is less well developed.”
- “In these subjects, leaders have not set out as clearly for teachers the order of learning as pupils move through the school.”
- “This prevents some pupils from building securely on what they already know and from deepening their knowledge over time.”
Safeguarding: Effective
