School remains Good Inspected 18 June 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils model the school’s values, such as respect, responsibility and kindness, wonderfully.”
- “Pupils have exceptionally positive relationships with staff and each other.”
- “Older pupils thrive in their roles and responsibilities, such as school councillors, charity representatives and reading ambassadors.”
To improve
- “However, the full curriculum is not implemented as effectively as it could be.”
- “Where this is weaker, some modelling and explanation of key concepts does not develop all pupils’ learning as deeply as where practice is strongest.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not achieve as highly as they could.”
