Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 23 November 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils treat one another, and the adults, with kindness and respect.”
- “Staff encourage pupils to be aware of their behaviour and the impact it has on others.”
- “They provide opportunities for pupils to do ‘good deeds’, such as making and sending cards of appreciation to members of the emergency services who work over the Christmas period.”
To improve
- “In some areas of the curriculum where there have been recent changes, teaching sometimes focuses on the short-term knowledge pupils have studied, but does not help them to connect that knowledge to deepen pupils’ understanding of more complex concepts.”
- “Pupils confidently recall facts and key words about specific topics across the curriculum, but sometimes are not as confident in discussing more complex ideas.”
