Ofsted
Good Inspected 22 March 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school, and attendance rates are improving.”
- “They know that staff are ready to welcome them each day, and it really is a ‘school where children flourish’.”
- “Pupils have a sharp understanding of how to keep themselves safe online and in their local community.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, some disadvantaged pupils do not achieve as well as their national peers in these examinations.”
- “That said, sometimes leaders do not rigorously track the academic progress of these pupils.”
- “At times, however, trustees and governors do not robustly check on the information provided by school leaders thus limiting somewhat their role in driving continuous improvement.”
