Ofsted
Good Inspected 28 September 2022
Strengths
- “All staff expect pupils to behave well and work hard.”
- “Pupils respond well to the ‘good to be green’ behaviour system.”
- “Many older pupils are rewarded with ‘VIP lanyards’ for behaving consistently well or for being noticeably polite or kind.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders have not yet been precise enough.”
- “The key knowledge and vocabulary that pupils should learn have not been set out well enough.”
- “However, they do not always find out for themselves how well the school is doing.”
