School remains Good Inspected 3 November 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this positive, purposeful, and cheerful school.”
- “They are well behaved, polite, and eager to talk about what they like about their school.”
- “They are engaged in their lessons.”
To improve
- “Assessment across the curriculum is not always helpful in identifying the gaps in pupils’ knowledge and skills and to allow teachers to plan next steps in learning precisely.”
- “However, leaders and teachers were less clear as to how teachers checked regularly to see if pupils had gaps in their knowledge or were finding a particular operation difficult.”
- “What was less consistent was how teachers followed up the work pupils had completed to check that they were understanding it fully.”
