Ofsted
Good Inspected 29 November 2022
Strengths
- “This is a school built on positivity and strong relationships.”
- “Pupils show care and respect to others because adults model it to them.”
- “Pupils know they are cared for and that they can talk to adults if they need help or have any worries.”
To improve
- “However, these checks do not always give leaders the clear information they need about how they can develop the quality of teaching in their subjects and how they impact the experience of pupils.”
- “However, there are some inconsistencies in some parts of the teaching of early reading and in how lower-attaining readers in key stage 2 are identified and quickly supported.”
- “However, the challenge they offer to leaders is not as thorough as it could be.”
