Strengths
- “Pupils typically enjoy learning at Kingsmead School.”
- “They attend school regularly and benefit from an ambitious and well-thought-out curriculum.”
- “Consequently, pupils learn and achieve in line with their peers nationally.”
To improve
- “Pupils' welfare has not been sufficiently managed because the required pre-employment checks and vetting of new staff do not meet statutory requirements.”
- “Until recently, governors, trustees and leaders have taken too much information on trust.”
- “They have not overseen key aspects of the school's work, including some aspects of safeguarding.”
