Ofsted
Good Inspected 4 May 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils are very keen to acquire knowledge in a broad range of subjects, which include Latin, ancient Greek and classical civilisation.”
- “Their behaviour, attendance and attitudes to learning are excellent.”
- “Pupils maintain their focus in lessons for long periods of time and enjoy thinking about the questions teachers pose.”
To improve
- “However, this practice is not consistent throughout the school.”
- “Occasionally, teachers do not check gaps in pupils’ understanding sharply enough.”
- “As a result, it is not clear when some pupils are ready to move on to the next stage of learning.”
