Ofsted
School remains Outstanding (Concerns) - S5 Next Inspected 13 June 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming school.”
- “They build positive friendships and look out for one another.”
- “At playtimes, pupils check whether anyone is standing with the ‘friendship bear’ and looking for someone to play with.”
To improve
- “While children in the early years achieve well, the quality of learning varies across key stage 1.”
- “However, in some other subjects, their understanding is less secure and they find it difficult to remember what they have learned.”
- “However, support in lessons is not always equally effective in helping pupils overcome the difficulties they face.”
