Ofsted
Good Inspected 7 February 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), strive to ‘go beyond what is expected’ at this caring, inclusive school.”
- “Pupils are proud to say that their school encourages them to respect people from other backgrounds and to treat everyone equally.”
- “This is lived through the school’s values.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, however, the curriculum is at an earlier stage of development, which means pupils are not achieving all that they could.”
- “However, leaders have not yet provided staff with consistent training so that they all have the expert knowledge that they need.”
- “Some phonics teaching in Key Stage 1 is not as precise and effective as it could be, meaning that pupils could make even swifter progress in learning to read.”
