Ofsted

School remains Good Inspected 26 May 2023

Strengths

“Leaders and staff have high expectations for all pupils both academically and socially.”
“Pupils treat one another, staff and visitors with respect.”
“The atmosphere around the school is calm and purposeful.”

To improve

“However, leaders have not yet identified how pupils will learn what it means to be an ‘expert’ in their subjects.”
“A significant number of pupils are persistently absent from school, including pupils with SEND.”
“Although leaders have established routines for addressing persistent absence, they are not sufficiently robust to improve attendance.”
