School remains Good Inspected 12 October 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils are immensely proud of their school.”
- “They confidently explain the core values of ‘belonging, knowledge, trust and equality’.”
- “They talk about how they live these values every day.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, leaders have not yet precisely identified the knowledge and vocabulary they want pupils to learn.”
- “However, on occasion some younger pupils find the books they are given too difficult.”
- “Although pupils keep trying, this makes it harder for them to become more fluent readers.”
