Good Inspected 15 November 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, enjoy coming to this nurturing school where everyone is made to feel welcome.”
- “Leaders and staff encourage pupils to embrace the school’s values of peace, hope and friendship.”
- “Staff provide a wide range of clubs to help foster pupils’ interests and talents.”
To improve
- “However, leaders have not ensured that a small number of staff have the knowledge they need to deliver some aspects of the programme consistently well.”
- “This hinders a very small number of pupils on their journey to become confident and fluent readers.”
- “However, in a small number of subjects, teachers are not as clear about some of the knowledge that pupils should be learning and when some aspects of the curriculum should be taught.”
