School remains Good Inspected 23 February 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to belong to this welcoming school.”
- “Adults know pupils as individuals and they provide them with high-quality pastoral care.”
- “Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and children in the early years are happy and feel safe.”
To improve
- “However, a few pupils are less sure when asked to recall or explain key subject-specific content from previous years.”
- “This is because some teachers do not ensure that pupils have enough chances to revisit and recap their learning.”
- “Occasionally, this means that some pupils do not have a sufficiently deep and rich body of subject knowledge.”
