School remains Good Inspected 19 October 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning.”
- “They work hard, whether on their own or with friends.”
- “Staff use consistent procedures and routines throughout the school.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, pupils with SEND do not gain knowledge and skills securely enough before moving on to new learning.”
- “However, leaders’ curriculum thinking in a few subjects beyond the core does not ensure pupils deepen their subject-specific knowledge and understanding over time.”
- “For example, in religious education (RE), leaders have not ensured that pupils understand key concepts about different world religions.”
