Ofsted
Outstanding Inspected 8 June 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils arrive at school happy and ready to make a prompt start to their day.”
- “They are well cared for and feel valued by staff.”
- “Pupils have positive relationships with staff and one another.”
To improve
- “Leaders have identified that, in some classes, teaching could be more consistent and in line with the strength that is seen across the rest of the school.”
- “However, this pedagogy is more established in some curriculum subjects than others and is not consistent between classes and year groups across the school.”
