School remains Good Inspected 29 March 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils feel happy and safe at school.”
- “Relationships between adults and pupils are warm and respectful.”
- “Pupils value that they are well supported and cared for both academically and socially.”
To improve
- “However, leaders have not checked carefully enough that these new curriculums are being delivered as well as they expect.”
- “This means that they are unsure if teachers need additional guidance or if pupils are learning all that they should.”
- “However, in some subjects, teachers are still at the early stages of exploring the best approaches to check that pupils know more and remember more of the curriculum.”
