Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 9 March 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are safe around the large school site.”
- “They know that bullying is not tolerated, and that staff swiftly intervene to resolve any issues.”
- “Staff build positive working relationships with pupils and listen to any worries that they may have.”
To improve
- “Leaders have rightly identified that in a small number of subjects, the sequencing of learning is not securely embedded.”
- “As a result, pupils do not consistently build the knowledge and understanding that they need in these subjects to tackle more challenging ideas.”
