Good Inspected 6 December 2022
Strengths
- “This small school is a happy and safe place for pupils to learn and grow together.”
- “The school’s values guide pupils to ‘pray, play and prosper’ in a way that truly helps pupils to be ready for life ahead, both personally and academically.”
- “High expectations for pupils’ behaviour are set, expected and modelled by governors, leaders and staff.”
To improve
- “Teachers’ use of resources do not always support the intended learning well.”
- “Where this is the case, it hinders pupils, including those with SEND, from showing what they know and can do to reach their full potential.”
- “Occasionally, pupils’ errors are not consistently addressed, and they are left with misunderstandings or incomplete work.”
