School remains Good Inspected 11 October 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school.”
- “They learn the ‘golden rule’ of treating each other as they want to be treated; for example, they are kind to each other.”
- “Pupils are happy and well cared for.”
To improve
- “However, in other subjects the school has not thought as carefully about the essential knowledge that pupils should remember over time.”
- “When pupils revisit their learning, staff sometimes do not emphasise the most important information that pupils should know.”
- “This means that some pupils develop gaps in their learning which are not swiftly identified.”
