Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 22 May 2024
Strengths
- “The school’s vision that pupils should always be ‘reaching for the stars’ is evident in everything they do.”
- “This is reflected in the views of parents who spoke of the school’s role in ‘helping pupils to thrive’ and the ‘massive impact’ the school has had.”
- “Pupils respond positively to the school’s expectations and usually achieve well across the curriculum.”
To improve
- “They check pupils’ understanding carefully, but pupils do not have sufficient opportunities to revisit key learning.”
- “As a result, although pupils generally learn well, their recall sometimes lacks precision over time.”
