Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 16 July 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and enjoy each day spent in this small, friendly and nurturing school.”
- “They are greeted warmly by staff each morning with a welcoming smile.”
- “The school’s mission to provide pupils with ‘a safe branch from which to soar’ is brought to life by all in the school and its wider community.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the school has not made it clear what pupils should learn and when this should happen.”
- “This hampers teachers from designing learning that builds pupils’ knowledge over time.”
- “However, in a small number of subjects, teachers do not check pupils’ learning in the same timely and consistent way.”
