Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 22 September 2022
Strengths
- “The school’s mission statement of ‘Always our best for God, each other and ourselves’ is lived out daily in the way pupils and adults treat each other with fairness and respect.”
- “Leaders are ambitious for all pupils.”
- “Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and the many pupils who speak English as an additional language learn well here.”
To improve
- “However, this is less consistent in key stage 2, where leaders have recently altered the reading curriculum.”
- “While teachers check on pupils’ reading, the information is not used precisely or swiftly enough to adapt the reading curriculum to meet pupils’ needs.”
- “This means, for some pupils, their progression in reading slows.”
