Ofsted
Good Inspected 7 November 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils develop into extremely responsible and active citizens in this welcoming school.”
- “They demonstrate the school’s vision of ‘everybody matters’ in their actions and exceptional behaviour.”
- “Pupils support younger children in Reception with great care and maturity, encouraging them to participate in rich discussions during assemblies.”
To improve
- “However, in history and music, teachers’ assessments do not always support pupils in remembering what they have learned as effectively as they could.”
- “Consequently, some pupils do not retain all the important knowledge that they have learned in these subjects.”
- “However, occasionally staff do not make clear links to what pupils have learned previously.”
