Good Inspected 11 October 2022
Strengths
- “There is a strong sense of community and togetherness in this friendly church school.”
- “Pupils feel secure, included, happy and well cared for.”
- “They have great trust and confidence in the adults around them, so positive relationships flourish.”
To improve
- “In the foundation subjects, however, there is not yet a clear process in place for teachers to check which parts of the curriculum pupils have learned and remembered.”
- “This means that some gaps in learning may go unnoticed.”
- “Leaders know they need to build on this curiosity and embed even more richer opportunities for pupils to engage with views and beliefs that are different from their own.”
