Ofsted
Good Inspected 14 June 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils benefit greatly from an extremely well-designed programme of wider personal development.”
- “Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are inspired and encouraged to become thoughtful and considerate citizens.”
- “They discuss and debate current affairs and take part in many global awareness days.”
To improve
- “However, in early years, teachers sometimes miss opportunities to extend children’s learning and development through carefully crafted conversations.”
- “However, some pupils do not attend school as often as they should.”
- “This prevents these pupils from benefiting from the high-quality curriculum and the excellent personal development opportunities that are on offer.”
