Ofsted
Good Inspected 20 February 2024
Strengths
- “This is an inclusive school where there is a positive sense of community between pupils and staff.”
- “The school’s values of ‘courage, wisdom, hope, respect and love’ are embedded into school life.”
- “As one parent rightly described to inspectors, ‘Staff are kind, caring and aim high for the children.’”
To improve
- “However, in other subjects where the curriculum is newer, teachers are not yet confident in delivering all aspects of learning as intended, and assessment is not being used to make routine checks of pupils’ understanding.”
- “Where pupils need even more help, the school is developing how additional support from professionals beyond the school is accessed and used.”
- “A small minority of pupils struggle to meet the school’s high standards for conduct.”
