Ofsted
Good Inspected 25 April 2023
Strengths
- “They do their utmost to live up to the core values of happiness, encouragement, aspiration, respect and teamwork.”
- “Pupils agree that the school motto, ‘each and every one’, describes their school well and that everyone is treated equally.”
- “Their conduct reflects leaders’ high expectations for their behaviour.”
To improve
- “That said, in a small number of subjects, some older pupils have gaps in their knowledge.”
- “This is because, in these subjects, leaders’ refinements to the curriculums are more recent.”
- “This hinders how well these pupils build securely on what they know already.”
