School remains Good Inspected 1 May 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils relish being part of a caring school community.”
- “They trust adults to listen to them if they have any worries.”
- “All pupils are well supported with academic learning and nurturing pastoral care.”
To improve
- “However, in some foundation subjects, the tasks that pupils complete are not always linked closely enough to the precise knowledge identified in the curriculum.”
- “Consequently, pupils do not consistently learn and remember enough of the content over time.”
- “This focus has been less effective for the low numbers of disadvantaged pupils and too many are persistently absent.”
