Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 24 February 2023
Strengths
- “Teachers know their pupils well.”
- “Pupils and their families appreciate this happy and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils behave calmly and sensibly in lessons and around the school.”
To improve
- “However, few pupils study modern foreign languages in Years 10 and 11, which limits the proportion of pupils who achieve the English Baccalaureate by the end of Year 11.”
- “Sometimes, the tasks that teachers have designed to do this are not as effective, and pupils do not remember and recall their earlier learning as securely as intended.”
