School remains Good Inspected 2 March 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, enjoy attending this caring, friendly school.”
- “Pupils are confident that staff will listen and support them if they have any worries.”
- “This helps pupils to feel safe at school.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders are less clear about the building blocks of knowledge that pupils must gain.”
- “On occasion, this hinders teachers in designing learning.”
- “It also makes it harder for pupils to link new knowledge to earlier learning.”
