School remains Good Inspected 18 October 2023
Strengths
- “Respect for these rights is evident throughout school.”
- “Teachers can teach, pupils can learn.”
- “Pupils achieve highly in their reading and mathematics at the end of Year 6.”
To improve
- “Pupils do not achieve as well in writing, but this is improving.”
- “However, the school has not developed consistent systems to check that pupils can remember what they have learned in the long term.”
- “This limits the information that the school has to monitor the impact of the curriculum and identify any next steps.”
