Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 21 March 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are a credit to themselves, to their families and to the school.”
- “Their considerate behaviour, positive attitudes to learning and genuine regard for others make Parkgate a warm and welcoming place to be.”
- “Pupils talked about their school as a family, a caring community and a place where teachers love and respect everyone.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, it is unclear what knowledge is particularly important for teachers to emphasise, recap and check.”
- “This makes it difficult for the school to be certain that pupils have a secure grasp of the key concepts that underpin future learning.”
- “However, this is not replicated in terms of early writing.”
