Ofsted
Some aspects not as strong Inspected 8 October 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are eager to come to school and keen to learn.”
- “They embrace and enjoy the opportunities the school offers from the early morning breakfast club through to their enthusiastic singing in assembly.”
- “The school has high expectations for pupils’ behaviour, to which they willingly rise.”
To improve
- “However, the school knows that pupils should achieve more than they do presently.”
- “The school is calmly continuing through another challenging period of significant changes to staffing at all levels, including governance.”
- “While the school has ensured that pupils continue to have a positive experience and enjoy school, aspects of the quality of education are more variable than they should be.”
