Ofsted
Some aspects not as strong Inspected 5 November 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy being part of this warm and welcoming school.”
- “They readily welcome new arrivals to the school.”
- “Pupils celebrate differences between themselves and others.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, they do not focus fully on their learning in lessons and, at times, become distracted.”
- “However, some pupils who fall behind with their learning do not always get the right support to help them to keep up with their peers.”
- “In a small number of subjects, the school’s checks on what pupils know and can do are not used well enough to identify gaps in pupils’ learning over time.”
