School remains Good Inspected 14 June 2023
Strengths
- “This school prepares pupils well for the future.”
- “Pupils enjoy regular ‘inspiration days’, offering enrichment opportunities across the school.”
- “Well-being is embedded into experiences such as outdoor learning and mindfulness clubs.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, the modelling of sounds by some staff is less precise, which prevents some pupils achieving well in reading.”
- “However, this approach is not embedded in every subject.”
- “This means that, in some areas of the curriculum, teachers may be less certain about what pupils securely remember.”
