School remains Good Inspected 22 May 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are highly positive about their school.”
- “They are welcomed warmly as soon as they join, and staff make sure that they settle quickly.”
- “Staff are highly ambitious for all pupils, and pupils recognise and value this.”
To improve
- “In the small number of subjects where this is less well developed, the important knowledge that pupils need to acquire is not always clearly identified.”
- “Some learning activities also do not deepen pupil’s knowledge effectively enough before moving on.”
- “This leaves gaps in what pupils know, meaning they do not learn as much as they could.”
