Ofsted
Good Inspected 8 May 2024
Strengths
- “Children become the communicative, resilient, independent and imaginative youngsters that the school aims for them to be.”
- “This is because it has high expectations of children and the knowledge that they will learn.”
- “Through the school’s mostly well-considered and delivered curriculum, children achieve well.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, in a few areas of learning, the school does not identify clearly enough the knowledge that children will learn.”
- “This makes it harder for staff to teach children some of the essential information that they need for their future learning.”
- “On occasion, some staff think less carefully about the activities that will deliver the school’s curriculum content.”
