Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 26 June 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this school.”
- “They talk confidently about what respect means and why it is important.”
- “The new school values of ‘SHINE’ (success, happiness, independence, new experiences and engagement) and the school’s Christian values of ‘CRAFT’ (compassion, responsibility, acceptance, forgiveness and trust) have been embedded well by the new leadership team.”
To improve
- “This is because, in a few subjects, there needs to be clearer links between what pupils learn, the way that they learn it and how teachers can check that they have learned it.”
- “In other subjects, such as history, there is some further work to do.”
- “In these subjects, pupils often remember activities instead of the specific knowledge that they have learned.”
