Good Inspected 19 October 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils are proud of their school.”
- “They are polite, courteous and respectful.”
- “They are confident that staff would deal with any cases of bullying effectively.”
To improve
- “Despite the strengths in the curriculum, leaders’ systems for checking how well pupils are learning in some subjects are slightly underdeveloped.”
- “As a result, in some subjects other than English, mathematics and science, occasional gaps in pupils’ knowledge and understanding are not picked up quickly enough.”
- “For example, in history, a few older pupils do not know enough about how events in the past still influence us in the present day.”
