Good Inspected 11 July 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are at the heart of this nurturing and cohesive school.”
- “The values of ‘proud, resilient and respectful’ permeate all aspects of school life.”
- “Leaders have high expectations.”
To improve
- “However, staff do not always use assessment opportunities well or carefully enough to check exactly what some pupils have or have not mastered.”
- “As a result, some pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have gaps in their subject knowledge.”
- “However, some subjects are less well developed.”
