Ofsted
Good Inspected 7 November 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils love coming to school, where they know anything is possible, whatever their starting points.”
- “As a result of the phenomenal progress they make, they excel in the standards they achieve in reading, writing and mathematics by the time they leave school.”
- “Year 4 pupils recently celebrated success in the mathematics ‘Borscherds Competition’ at a local grammar school.”
To improve
- “Pupils do well in the wider curriculum, but some misconceptions are not addressed promptly.”
- “In a few subjects, which are not taught as regularly as others, there is a long delay before they are taught explicitly again, and therefore a long delay before previous misconceptions can be addressed.”
- “This means that occasionally some pupils struggle to recall what they have learned.”
