Ofsted
Good Inspected 28 November 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school and appreciate how staff care for them.”
- “Leaders and staff are highly ambitious for the achievement of all pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “The academic, personal, social and emotional support that leaders provide contributes strongly to how well pupils achieve.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, pupils’ recall of some of the key knowledge that staff teach and revisit is not as secure as in others.”
- “This means that pupils’ knowledge in these subjects is not as deep as it is in the rest of the curriculum.”
