Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 20 September 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are really happy to come to this school.”
- “They embrace the school’s values through the characters of Polly Perseverance, Chico Challenge, Ruby Resilience and Kai Kindness.”
- “Staff talk with pupils when they are demonstrating one of these values, helping pupils to understand the school’s expectations and routines.”
To improve
- “The school has chosen to renew the way it teaches phonics and early reading because some pupils did not reach the same level as their peers.”
- “Pupils are often at an early stage with their reading, and staff have worked hard to improve pupils’ understanding of the books that they are reading.”
- “While pupils make strong progress from their low starting points, some do not reach the expected standard at the end of their time at this school.”
