School remains Good Inspected 12 October 2022
Strengths
- “From the moment that children join the school in the early years, caring staff set clear routines for them.”
- “Pupils and children have a strong sense of security and belonging.”
- “This is because staff make their high expectations for learning and behaviour clear.”
To improve
- “That said, in some subjects, a few aspects of teachers’ assessment of pupils’ learning are better developed than others.”
- “While governors increasingly hold leaders to account, from time to time, they pay insufficient attention to some of the information presented to them by leaders.”
