Ofsted
Good Inspected 8 June 2023
Strengths
- “Staff greet pupils warmly each morning at this welcoming and caring school.”
- “Leaders are building positive relationships with families across the school community.”
- “They know that staff will listen to them and give them the support they need.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the checks made on the curriculum and how well it is implemented are less well developed.”
- “This prevents subject leaders from fully understanding the impact of all aspects of the curriculum on how well pupils remember and practise their learning over time in these subjects.”
- “However, reducing the rate of persistent absence and its impact on pupils’ achievement remains a priority.”
