Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 4 July 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be members of the ‘Phil and Jim’ community, where they embrace the school values of love, compassion, and community.”
- “Pupils are welcoming and place considerable importance on being friendly to others.”
- “Kindness is evident during playtime when pupils across year groups use and share the equipment considerately.”
To improve
- “In a few foundation subjects, where middle leaders have identified that pupils are not building important knowledge as well as they could, leaders are developing their schemes.”
- “However, in some foundation subjects, assessment is not linked to the important knowledge that pupils have been taught.”
- “Where this is the case, teaching does not address knowledge gaps, which pupils can then retain over time.”
