Good Inspected 22 November 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy to attend this welcoming and caring school.”
- “Leaders and staff are ambitious for the achievement of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “They also ensure that pupils’ experiences contribute to their vision of a ‘community of responsibility and respect, creativity and challenge’.”
To improve
- “While teachers implement the curriculum well overall, in a few subjects, leaders have not identified clearly enough the precise subject-specific knowledge that pupils need to acquire in each year group.”
- “This means that pupils do not have the depth of prior knowledge that they should.”
