Ofsted
Good Inspected 2 November 2022
Strengths
- “The headteacher has ensured that the school sits at the heart of its community.”
- “For example, there are strong links with the nearby fire station and other local employers.”
- “The headteacher has, successfully, raised the aspirations of pupils in what the future might hold for them.”
To improve
- “For example, leaders know that pupils’ writing is not yet as precise as it should be.”
- “Following the decline in the quality of pupils’ writing caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers have not maintained a critical focus on the finer aspects of pupils’ writing.”
- “Therefore, some pupils are failing to have the correct pencil grip, so their handwriting is scruffy and illegible.”
