Ofsted
Good Inspected 11 June 2024
Strengths
- “The school has improved the quality of education that pupils receive.”
- “Pupils appreciate the positive impact that the school has on their behaviour and on their learning.”
- “They value the high standards that the school expects of their academic achievement and conduct.”
To improve
- “While the impact of the improved curriculum is evident in current pupils’ learning, this is not reflected in the 2023 published outcomes.”
- “This is because the legacy of a weaker curriculum, destabilised staffing and pupils’ poor rates of attendance have led to gaps in some older pupils’ knowledge.”
- “However, some teachers have not addressed the gaps in some older pupils’ knowledge as effectively as they should.”
