Ofsted
Good Inspected 4 October 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils thoroughly enjoy attending this caring and harmonious school.”
- “Staff make sure that pupils are happy and safe.”
- “Adults forge strong relationships with pupils.”
To improve
- “Despite the overall strengths in how teachers check pupils’ learning, in a minority of subjects in the wider curriculum, leaders are still reviewing and improving their assessment systems.”
- “In these curriculum areas, leaders’ approaches to assessment do not allow teachers to identify in sufficient depth what pupils know or understand.”
- “This hinders some pupils from learning all that they could.”
