School remains Good Inspected 20 March 2024
Strengths
- “This is a friendly and inclusive school where pupils are responsible, respectful and safe.”
- “They enjoy the leadership roles available as part of the ‘Harriers Parliament’ councils, which teach pupils how to organise events and lead others, such as running assemblies or charity fundraising.”
- “Pupils make a real difference in the school through their work on the environment, safety and storytelling to name just a few.”
To improve
- “However, pupils’ misconceptions or gaps in knowledge are not always identified as early as they could be.”
- “This means that some pupils do not connect knowledge as securely as they could.”
- “The school has rightly identified that pupils’ achievement in key stage 1 could be better.”
