Good Inspected 29 November 2022
Strengths
- “Leaders and staff have created a warm and nurturing environment where each individual pupil feels valued.”
- “All staff have high expectations for what pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can and should achieve.”
- “Pupils learn well in a range of subjects.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, curriculum thinking does not focus on developing pupils’ knowledge and understanding in as much depth.”
- “Sometimes, teachers do not have the subject expertise to deliver curriculum content in a way that helps pupils to remember and build on what they have been taught.”
- “Because leaders’ curriculum thinking is still developing, checks on learning are not sharply focused on addressing misconceptions and ensuring that pupils have the knowledge they need for subsequent learning.”
