Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 21 June 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are highly aspirational and care for one another.”
- “There is a strong ethos of inclusivity and a real focus on tolerance.”
- “The school has high expectations of pupils’ behaviour.”
To improve
- “Pupils recognise links across subjects, but these are not always highlighted by teachers themselves.”
- “Curriculum links are not always identified to support pupils’ wider knowledge, skills and appreciation.”
- “As a result, opportunities are missed to help pupils to know more and remember more.”
