Ofsted
Good Inspected 27 June 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils feel exceptionally well cared for at this school.”
- “This was best summed up by pupils, who said that they feel ‘cherished’ by their teachers.”
- “Pupils spoke particularly highly about the ‘Hub’, which is a safe space that they can go to at lunchtimes to speak with their teachers about anything that is worrying them.”
To improve
- “However, in some other subjects and in parts of the early years curriculum, leaders have not been as specific about the knowledge that pupils should learn.”
- “In these subjects, teachers sometimes do not teach all the important content that pupils need to know.”
- “Occasionally, teachers do not teach content in a logical order.”
