Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 22 June 2022
Strengths
- “Leaders have developed a culture where pupils feel listened to and take an active role in the school.”
- “Pupils take on roles of responsibility such as school councillors and school librarians.”
- “This builds a genuine feeling of belonging to the school community.”
To improve
- “However, pupils have limited opportunities to practise what they have learned across different subjects.”
- “This is because leaders have not always thought carefully enough about the opportunities to revisit prior learning in different subjects.”
- “As a result, pupils sometimes struggle to remember what they have learned over time.”
