School remains Good Inspected 9 November 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy school because of the positive relationships that they have with staff and other pupils.”
- “This creates a friendly atmosphere in the school.”
- “Pupils feel cared for by staff.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, however, the school has not set out clearly enough what pupils need to know.”
- “As a result, pupils remember the tasks that they have completed rather than their learning.”
- “This also makes it difficult for staff to check and then address any gaps in pupils’ learning.”
