School remains Good Inspected 10 July 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils feel they belong in this warm and friendly school.”
- “They particularly value the positive relationships that they develop with staff and their peers.”
- “Pupils live out the school values of 'aspire, believe, create' through their exemplary conduct and attitudes.”
To improve
- “Consequently, a small number of pupils are not always supported effectively to read with confidence and fluency.”
- “In these subject areas, staff do not always check what pupils know and remember over time as effectively.”
- “This prevents pupils from successfully building on their long-term knowledge.”
