Good Inspected 10 May 2023
Strengths
- “Leaders, including trust leaders and governors, have taken swift and effective action to address the weaknesses in safeguarding that were identified at the last inspection.”
- “As a result, arrangements for safeguarding are now effective.”
- “Leaders have high expectations and ambition for all pupils.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes their vision is not realised in practice because they have not checked that what they wanted to happen is actually happening.”
- “For example, there are some inconsistencies in the way that adults listen to pupils read and in the application of the behaviour policy in some classes.”
- “Younger pupils sometimes find it difficult to meet adults’ high expectations.”
