Good Inspected 3 July 2023
Strengths
- “This is a school in which pupils develop a sense of emotional and physical safety.”
- “They are surrounded by adults who care about them and want them to achieve and succeed.”
- “Pupils develop an interest and engagement in their learning across the curriculum.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, the curriculum design is not implemented as consistently as it could be to give all pupils the best chance of building on their knowledge over time.”
- “However, the range of experiences and activities that pupils are offered beyond the classroom is not carefully aligned to the overarching curriculum design.”
- “Some aspects of these extra-curricular activities across the school are ‘standalone’ and are not woven fully into the curriculum for personal development.”
