Good Inspected 12 July 2022
Strengths
- “Leaders’ ambition for there to be ‘a time for every child to shine’ is evident in the day-to-day running of the school.”
- “Staff care about pupils and want them to do well and to be able to ‘shine’ every day.”
- “They are considerate of each other.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, it does not describe what pupils need to know and remember precisely enough.”
- “This means that leaders and teachers cannot systematically check on how well pupils are learning the curriculum.”
- “Additionally, in a small number of cases, leaders are finding areas where curriculum content is not taught in the best order.”
