School remains Good Inspected 12 July 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are enthusiastic to learn here.”
- “Leaders foster a safe environment, where pupils feel happy.”
- “Teachers encourage pupils to respect others, act responsibly and to overcome challenges.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, including some aspects of the early years, leaders’ curriculum thinking is not as complete.”
- “In these subjects, sometimes the school has not broken down precisely the key knowledge that pupils should know and remember over time.”
- “However, across the school, teaching does not check as routinely that pupils understand what has been taught or check frequently that pupils remember what they have learned.”
