Good Inspected 4 May 2023
Strengths
- “Children from many backgrounds, faiths and experiences are part of this highly inclusive and happy school.”
- “Everyone’s uniqueness is celebrated, but there is also a shared sense of togetherness.”
- “Adults tell pupils that they are all stars, but each week, pupils are celebrated as ‘shining that little bit brighter’ in rewards assemblies.”
To improve
- “However, in subjects where curriculum thinking is new, teachers do not always follow the intended plans.”
- “This means some pupils have gaps in their knowledge.”
- “The good quality of education pupils receive is not reflected in outcomes at the end of Year 6 in 2022.”
