School remains Good Inspected 6 March 2024
Strengths
- “The school strives for every child to be successful.”
- “For example, they develop pupils’ creativity, collaboration, and sense of responsibility.”
- “The school is warm, inclusive, and welcoming.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the key content that pupils need to know and the order they learn it is not identified as clearly.”
- “When this happens, pupils struggle to build on previous learning securely.”
- “This limits pupils’ development of deeper subject-specific knowledge and skills.”
