Ofsted
Good Inspected 14 June 2023
Strengths
- “Leaders have worked hard to bring about sustainable improvements since the school was judged to require improvement.”
- “They have created a welcoming, calm and inclusive school where expectations are high for all pupils, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “As a result, pupils enjoy coming to school and feel safe.”
To improve
- “In some lessons, the tasks that teachers give pupils do not enable them to learn key knowledge because they are not sharply focused on what it is that pupils need to learn and remember.”
- “Where tasks are not well designed, pupils’ attitudes to learning are not as positive, but this does not affect their behaviour.”
- “However, these expectations are not fully realised in practice.”
