School remains Good Inspected 22 March 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy school and speak positively about the warm welcome that those from different backgrounds receive.”
- “They are keen to share their learning with visitors and speak passionately about the experiences that they have been part of during their time at school.”
- “Staff have high expectations of pupils’ work and conduct.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the curriculum is at an earlier stage of implementation and is not as well embedded.”
- “In these areas, teachers do not routinely focus on the important ideas that pupils need to learn.”
- “This means that pupils do not develop as secure and deep an understanding over time.”
