Strengths
- “Since the previous inspection, the school and trust have taken significant steps to improve key aspects of the school.”
- “They, alongside those responsible for governance, are determined for pupils to do well, including those who are disadvantaged.”
- “The school has improved the quality of education for all through the development of an ambitious curriculum that is working well.”
To improve
- “While the important knowledge pupils need to know and remember is clear, the teaching of the new curriculum in these areas is in its early stages.”
- “As a result, pupils have gaps in their knowledge and so do not yet build their knowledge well enough.”
- “However, sometimes these checks are not precise enough.”
