School remains Good Inspected 22 February 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils respond positively to leaders’ very high expectations of behaviour.”
- “This means that the school feels calm wherever you go, and pupils feel happy and safe.”
- “Pupils say that bullying is very rare and that if it were to occur, teachers would deal with it effectively.”
To improve
- “However, leaders know that, in a small number of subjects, the knowledge pupils will learn has not yet been precisely ordered.”
- “Leaders know that not all pupils attend as well as they should.”
- “However, this has not yet fully had the impact needed for all families.”
