Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 27 June 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school and they said that they feel safe.”
- “The school’s values of courage, respect, friendship, love and forgiveness are shown daily through pupils’ consideration towards each other.”
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), behave well in lessons and they are eager to learn.”
To improve
- “In a very small number of subjects, teachers’ checks on how well pupils are learning the curriculum are not as effective as they should be.”
- “This hinders teachers from identifying and addressing gaps in pupils’ knowledge as quickly as they could in these subjects.”
- “The school works closely with families and external agencies to identify and remove the barriers that prevent some pupils from attending school as often as the should.”
