School remains Good Inspected 8 March 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are well looked after in this school.”
- “Leaders and staff know their pupils and families well.”
- “Pupils receive effective pastoral support which helps them to feel happy and safe at school.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, leaders have not identified as clearly the concepts pupils need to learn, practise and remember.”
- “This reduces how effectively pupils deepen their understanding in a subject.”
- “In mathematics, for example, leaders have identified some weaknesses in pupils’ understanding of numbers and place value.”
