Ofsted
Good Inspected 13 March 2023
Strengths
- “It has improved since the previous inspection in July 2022.”
- “Pupils enjoy a well-balanced curriculum.”
- “Staff ensure that strong emotional and mental health support for pupils underpins their learning.”
To improve
- “Leaders acknowledge that assessment of pupils’ learning, while in place, is not as effective as they would like it to be.”
- “However, the connection of new knowledge to that already covered in other topic areas is not always clear to the pupils.”
- “This contributes, in part, to weaknesses in pupils’ ability to recall their previous learning.”
