Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 15 November 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils like their school because it is a caring community that ‘nourishes them to thrive and flourish’.”
- “They are happy and enjoy learning.”
- “Pupils are safe because their teachers have pupils’ well-being at the forefront of their minds.”
To improve
- “Leaders understand that some recent standards in key stage 1 and 2 were low when compared nationally.”
- “However, leaders do not check regularly how well support for some pupils with SEND is working.”
- “As a result, some pupils with SEND do not receive the precise support they need to help them learn as well as they could.”
