Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 24 May 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils are very proud to attend this school.”
- “They build highly respectful friendships with their peers and appreciate the positive relationships they have with staff.”
- “Pupils’ behaviour is impressive.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, while pupils typically achieve well, their knowledge is not as detailed and their work does not reflect the same depth of understanding.”
- “However, at times, these activities do not enable pupils to deepen their understanding by tackling tasks that require higher levels of independent application of knowledge.”
- “However, in other aspects of the school, such as the quality of the curriculum and teaching, and pupils' achievement, their monitoring is not as robust.”
