Some aspects not as strong Inspected 17 December 2024
Strengths
- “This welcoming school is at the heart of the community.”
- “Each day gets off to a positive start as leaders greet pupils as they arrive on foot or by bus.”
- “Pupils are kind to staff and one another.”
To improve
- “However, further work remains to ensure that all pupils gain a secure body of knowledge, including in mathematics and writing.”
- “However, in some wider curriculum subjects, the school has not clearly identified the essential concepts that pupils need to learn or clarified how prior knowledge connects to new learning.”
- “This prevents pupils from developing their understanding over time.”
