Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 13 March 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are very happy at this unique school.”
- “The school’s values, such as respect, kindness and resilience, are known and understood by pupils exceptionally well.”
- “Pupils are inspired by thoughtful extra-curricular activities and opportunities to care for each other and their school environment.”
To improve
- “Although the school has developed an assessment system for foundation subjects, the strategies used to check how well children have learned and retained knowledge are not yet consistently and effectively utilised in all lessons across the school.”
- “This means that some pupils do not always build on their prior knowledge and achieve as well as they could.”
- “Books are generally matched to the sounds that pupils have learned, but the school is developing this further to ensure that reading books that pupils take home match those sounds precisely.”
