Ofsted
Good Inspected 5 March 2024
Strengths
- “Beginning in the early years, children and pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from working with staff who are highly ambitious for them and what they can achieve.”
- “Pupils have high expectations of themselves and achieve well.”
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school.”
To improve
- “Some opportunities to deepen pupils’ understanding are missed.”
- “Teachers do not consistently ensure that older pupils in mixed-age classes take every opportunity to extend their thinking and build on prior learning.”
- “In some subjects, the assessment systems do not focus as precisely as they could on checking whether pupils have learned the important knowledge identified in the curriculum.”
