Good Inspected 23 November 2022
Strengths
- “Leaders set and maintain high standards of education and care for all pupils.”
- “They consider how they can provide further opportunity, including through a rich curriculum offer.”
- “This school has a culture of aspiration for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged.”
To improve
- “However, at times, teachers do not check sufficiently well how securely pupils remember key ideas in a subject.”
- “This affects how well pupils are able to draw on their previous learning when they move on to study new ideas.”
- “Nevertheless, some pupils question the fairness with which the new behaviour system is applied.”
