Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 4 July 2024
Strengths
- “The school sits at the heart of the community.”
- “There is an inclusive culture in which everyone is made to feel welcome, whatever their religion or nationality.”
- “Pupils are polite and welcoming to visitors while being courteous and respectful to staff and each other.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, a few aspects of the school’s approach to promoting pupils’ wider development are not as fully thought through as others.”
- “While pupils are taught to be respectful of difference, there are occasions where the school’s provision does not include a breadth of experiences to build pupils’ appreciation of different beliefs and perspectives as well as the values that shape modern Britain.”
- “While many parents appreciate the communication that they get from the school, some parents feel that there are times when the school does not provide them with timely and helpful information about their children’s education.”
