Good Inspected 6 October 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils really enjoy learning at this inclusive and welcoming school.”
- “They understand and embrace the school’s four values: ‘growing our hearts and minds, passionate about learning, together we succeed and we care about respect’.”
- “They make the most of many opportunities to take on leadership responsibilities, such as being mental health champions and representing their class on the school council.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, such as history, the curriculum does not give pupils enough opportunity to understand how current and previous topics are linked by larger ideas.”
- “Nevertheless, there are some weaknesses in leaders’ engagement and communication with parents.”
