Ofsted
Good Inspected 5 December 2023
Strengths
- “They eagerly take part in a dance fitness activity, led by enthusiastic pupil leaders, waking up their minds and bodies for a day of busy learning.”
- “They want to do their very best, knowing staff have high expectations of what will be learned and achieved.”
- “Pupils know how important it is to be responsible and work together to ensure the school is a positive place to learn.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, such as geography, this is not yet the case.”
- “Some aspects of learning can be disjointed, meaning lessons are not always designed in a way that ensures pupils learn as well as they could.”
- “When this is the case, children do not learn as well as they could, and means children do not always practise new skills, such as counting when they play.”
