School remains Good Inspected 27 March 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are kind, caring and well mannered.”
- “They take pride in living up to the high aspirations that the school has for their behaviour.”
- “Children in the early years make a strong start to their education.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the school has not identified the most important information that pupils should learn.”
- “This means that teachers are not clear on the precise content that they should teach and when this should happen.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not develop the depth of knowledge in these subjects that they should.”
