School remains Good Inspected 4 July 2023

Strengths

“Leaders have created a nurturing environment which supports pupils to learn and achieve well.”
“The school’s ‘REACH’ principles set out the high expectations leaders have for all pupils.”
“Pupils respond to these expectations and achieve well.”

To improve

“Nevertheless, sometimes, assessment is not used effectively to address pupils’ misconceptions quickly enough.”
“This means that some pupils have gaps in their knowledge.”
“However, sometimes, staff are slower to challenge low-level disruption.”

Safeguarding: Effective
