Good Inspected 7 November 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are settled, happy and safe here.”
- “They enjoy school and rarely miss a day.”
- “This allows the school to provide well-placed support and care to pupils.”
To improve
- “However, much of this revised subject content is newly introduced and sometimes teaching is not as routinely focused on delivering the new curriculum content.”
- “On occasion, tasks, explanations and learning do not build upon what pupils already know about a topic and result in gaps in pupils’ learning which are not addressed.”
- “Consequently, sometimes pupils find it difficult to recall prior knowledge or use it to understand new ideas.”
