Ofsted
Good Inspected 18 October 2022
Strengths
- “Parents and carers speak very highly about the school.”
- “Almost all would recommend it.”
- “They emphasise the high quality of pastoral care and support given to their children.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects and in some ‘bridging units’ of work, particularly in Years 7 to 9, what pupils will learn is not precisely identified.”
- “Occasionally, the planned body of subject knowledge that pupils learn is not as ambitious as it could be.”
- “That said, suspensions, including for pupils with SEND, and permanent exclusions are too high.”
