School remains Good Inspected 4 October 2023
Strengths
- “This is a welcoming and happy school where, overall, pupils achieve well.”
- “Pupils enjoy school because their friends are kind and adults help them to learn.”
- “Pupils behave well when moving around the school and during social times.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes pupils struggle to remember key knowledge, skills and vocabulary and have gaps in their learning.”
- “This is because the school does not always check pupils’ learning quickly enough.”
- “Furthermore, in a few subjects leaders and teachers do not have effective processes in place to check pupils’ understanding.”
