Ofsted

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.”
