School remains Good Inspected 24 July 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this warm and caring school.”
- “They feel well looked after and appreciate the support that is offered to them by the school.”
- “The school has high expectations for pupils’ achievement and behaviour.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the checks that the school makes to ensure the successful delivery of the curriculums are at an earlier stage than in other subjects.”
- “This means that the school does not have a clear understanding of the impact of the curriculum on pupils’ learning in these subjects.”
- “It also means that the school is not able to identify when staff might need additional support or guidance to deliver these curriculums as intended.”
