Ofsted
Good Inspected 22 November 2023
Strengths
- “Since the previous inspection, leaders have been effective in improving the quality of education offered.”
- “This is now a good school where expectations of pupils’ achievement and behaviour are high and, overall, pupils achieve well.”
- “Leaders have placed reading at the heart of the curriculum.”
To improve
- “However, this approach is not consistently used and opportunities to develop children’s language are sometimes missed.”
- “In a small number of subjects, the school has identified that the curriculum needs further work.”
- “However, the key knowledge that the school wants pupils to learn is not precise enough.”
