Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 15 June 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enjoy attending this friendly, caring school.”
- “Positive relationships between pupils and staff help pupils to feel happy and safe.”
- “Pupils know that adults are there to help them if they have any worries or concerns.”
To improve
- “Despite this, in a few subjects, some pupils are uncertain when asked to recall or explain key subject-specific content from previous years.”
- “This is because some teachers do not ensure that pupils have enough chances to revisit and recap their learning.”
- “Occasionally, this means that some pupils do not have the knowledge they need to build on to ensure that they know and remember more over time.”
