School remains Good Inspected 18 April 2024
Strengths
- “They spoke excitedly about the array of clubs and opportunities available to them.”
- “These appeal to a wide range of talents and interests and contribute strongly to pupils’ wider development.”
- “They are guided by the school’s values and know how important it is to be trustworthy and respectful.”
To improve
- “In a small number of curriculums, the school continues to pinpoint the essential knowledge that pupils must learn.”
- “This means that, at times, teachers are unsure what knowledge they should emphasise and rehearse until it is secure in pupils’ memories.”
- “While pupils spoke with assurance about what they know already and their new learning in most subjects, their knowledge is less secure in these few remaining subjects.”
