Good Inspected 21 September 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this warm and welcoming school.”
- “They were keen to tell inspectors that they are all part of the ‘Westhouses family’.”
- “As one pupil, typical of many, told inspectors, ‘Whenever I am here, I always feel safe’.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, teachers do not make precise connections to the knowledge and skills gained in previous years.”
- “This means that some pupils find it difficult to recall their learning from the past.”
- “It also means that pupils do not always make best use of their learning by linking what they are doing now to what they already know.”
