Good Inspected 2 November 2022
Strengths
- “Leaders are very ambitious for all pupils to do well.”
- “The aspirational ‘Going for Gold’ motto is at the heart of school life.”
- “Pupils strive to achieve gold medals for showing their ‘PLACE’ values (Pushing Potential, Love of Learning, Awesome Attitude, Collective Community and Exceeding Expectations).”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, teachers do not check on pupils’ learning as precisely as they need to across the curriculum.”
- “Occasionally, they do not show pupils exactly what to do.”
- “Some pupils do not gain a clear understanding of what they are learning or remember sufficient details about what they have been taught before.”
