School remains Good Inspected 25 May 2023
Strengths

- “The recent changes leaders have made to the way teachers teach subjects mean that pupils are now doing very well in their learning.”
- “This includes in writing, where they have made rapid improvements this year after low standards and progress in previous years.”
To improve
- “The school declined soon after the last inspection, following a period of instability in senior leadership.”
- “This led to low standards in mathematics and writing, with pupils not making enough progress.”
- “In computing, as with other subjects, older pupils have some gaps in their learning, where the subject was not previously taught consistently well.”
