Ofsted

School remains Good Inspected 24 July 2024

Strengths

“Pupils make a positive start to their education at this school.”
“This stems from the high levels of ambition that the school has for pupils’ learning and development.”
“Many pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well across much of the curriculum.”

To improve

“However, there are one or two subjects where the school has not set out the key content that pupils should learn.”
“This makes it difficult for teachers to know what knowledge to prioritise when designing lessons.”
“Consequently, in these subjects, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge and do not achieve as well as they could.”
