Good Inspected 8 May 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are prepared for their next stage of education thoroughly.”
- “Staff have very high expectations for pupils’ learning, particularly in key stage 2.”
- “This helps pupils to achieve successful outcomes in reading, writing and mathematics consistently well.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects and subject areas, including in the early years, staff expertise is not as effective.”
- “This means that lessons are not always contributing to pupils’ learning as successfully as they could.”
- “Pupils do not always build on their prior knowledge as strongly as they do in other areas of the curriculum.”
