Ofsted
Good Inspected 27 June 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils like being part of a school where everyone knows each other.”
- “They make some good friendships in their time here.”
- “They enjoy practical work in science, looking at artefacts in history, playing percussion instruments in music and using the hall equipment in physical education lessons.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils report that not all adults follow up behaviour incidents in the same way.”
- “Some pupils therefore still have gaps in key knowledge in these subjects.”
- “However, a few older pupils who find reading tricky still have gaps in their reading knowledge.”
