School remains Good Inspected 8 March 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils really enjoy attending this welcoming school.”
- “They respond well to leaders’ and staff’s high expectations of behaviour.”
- “They are polite and friendly and follow instructions quickly.”
To improve
- “However, in those subjects for which this is not the case, pupils struggle to talk and write about what they have learned.”
- “Lack of essential vocabulary makes it difficult for them to explain and reflect on their learning to deepen their knowledge.”
- “However, the teaching of pupils who have fallen behind in reading is sometimes not sufficiently well targeted at specific gaps in their knowledge.”
