Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 26 January 2024
Strengths
- “The values of ‘excellence, responsibility and aspiration’ are at the heart of the school’s work.”
- “The school is inclusive and ensures that pupils treat each other with respect.”
- “Most pupils enjoy coming to school.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes teachers do not check what pupils have learned sufficiently and, therefore, do not identify when pupils have misunderstood.”
- “This results in some pupils developing misconceptions or gaps in their learning.”
- “When this happens, teaching moves on too quickly to the next piece of new learning.”
