School remains Good Inspected 8 June 2023
Strengths
- “The core values of ‘respect, friendship and perseverance’ permeate through the school.”
- “Pupils, staff, parents and carers are proud of their school, which sits at the heart of the local community.”
- “Pupils typically describe the school as having a calm atmosphere where each day runs smoothly.”
To improve
- “However, despite recent changes to methods of communication with parents, they would like to be better informed about the curriculum that pupils will be taught and how successfully they are learning.”
- “However, in a few subjects, the curriculum is not sequenced effectively to build on pupils’ knowledge from year to year.”
- “In addition, checks on pupils’ learning are not as well thought through.”
