Ofsted
Good Inspected 18 April 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy, polite and very welcoming to visitors.”
- “They feel safe and well cared for at school.”
- “Leaders have created a culture where pupils can talk to adults if they have any concerns or worries.”
To improve
- “However, these high expectations are not clearly outlined in all areas of the early years.”
- “The curriculum in this part of the school does not prepare children for the next stage in their learning well enough.”
- “That said, in a few subjects, where the curriculum is at an earlier stage of development, leaders have not considered in enough detail the smaller chunks of knowledge that pupils should learn.”
