Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 19 October 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils feel part of a family in this caring school community.”
- “Staff have high expectations for what all pupils should achieve, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Pupils meet these expectations and achieve well.”
To improve
- “Even though subject leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum, some subject leaders do not monitor whether teachers are delivering their subject curriculums effectively.”
- “This means that, in a small number of subjects, subject leaders do not have oversight of how well the curriculum is supporting pupils to achieve.”
- “However, a small number of staff require further training to develop their expertise.”
