Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 14 March 2023
Strengths
- “Children and pupils are happy here.”
- “Pupils value the strong working relationships with adults that underpin their work in classrooms.”
- “Expectations for learning and behaviour are high, including for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
To improve
- “In a few other curriculum subjects, activities are planned but these are not always connected or assessed in a way that builds and checks pupils’ knowledge.”
- “Schemes of work are not as precisely aligned with the school’s theoretical knowledge progression statements.”
- “The emphasis is on pupils completing or participating in tasks rather than on the quality of their work.”
