School remains Good Inspected 8 June 2023
Strengths
- “This school is at the heart of the community.”
- “Pupils arrive with big smiles on their faces each morning.”
- “Leaders have created a caring and supportive environment where everyone is respected.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, some teachers do not check that pupils have mastered earlier learning before moving on to newer concepts.”
- “This means that some pupils develop misunderstandings and their learning is less secure in the longer term.”
- “They lack the specific subject knowledge that they need to identify where teachers may need additional support to deliver the curriculum even more effectively.”
