Ofsted
Good Inspected 23 January 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), know this is a school where staff have the highest expectations.”
- “There are clear and consistent rules and routines, which ensures that pupils behave exceptionally well in lessons.”
- “Most pupils also conduct themselves well around the school.”
To improve
- “However, some still find it difficult to rise to what is expected and do not agree that it is necessary.”
- “Like some parents, they also believe the new expectations on them are unrealistic.”
- “Coupled with a period of instability and a high amount of change, some parts of the community are unsettled and do not have confidence in the school.”
