School remains Good Inspected 16 November 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, flourish at this welcoming school.”
- “They love to come to school each day.”
- “They value the support that staff provide, particularly with regard to their emotional health and well-being.”
To improve
- “In those subjects where recent changes have been made to the curriculums, assessment strategies are less well developed.”
- “This makes it harder for teachers to accurately pinpoint how successfully pupils have understood and retained important knowledge and skills over time.”
- “They have less oversight of the effectiveness of some other curriculum areas.”
