Good Inspected 6 March 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils belong to a school that truly sits within the heart of the community.”
- “The care, nurture and support that pupils enjoy each and every day radiates beyond the school gates to their families.”
- “The regular ‘family lunch’ is just one example of the strong bond between the school, pupils and their parents and carers.”
To improve
- “Even so, in some subjects, especially those that are not taught on a daily basis, some pupils find it difficult to remember aspects of their previous learning.”
- “This is because teachers do not provide enough opportunities for pupils to recall what they have learned over time.”
- “In 2023, pupils’ attainment at the end of Year 6 was significantly below the national average.”
