Good Inspected 13 March 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and safe in the school’s warm and caring community.”
- “Adults understand their pupils’ needs and build working relationships grounded in trust.”
- “All adults have high expectations and ambitions for pupils.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects where leaders are not subject specialists, the identification of essential content and the sequence in which it should be taught is not as coherently thought through.”
- “This is particularly the case where leaders do not have strong subject expertise.”
- “Occasionally, where teachers do not have subject-specialist expertise, subject content is not taught as clearly.”
