Ofsted
Good Inspected 6 February 2024
Strengths
- “Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can achieve and have put an ambitious curriculum in place.”
- “Pupils attend school regularly because they enjoy what they learn and do every day.”
- “The school’s ethos and values of ‘deep Christian roots, nurturing strong growth, flourishing children’ are at the heart of everything that happens.”
To improve
- “For example, in some areas of the curriculum assessment has not been used effectively, to identify where pupils’ knowledge is less secure.”
- “This means pupils do not move on to more complex work successfully, such as problem-solving in mathematics.”
- “However, sometimes written work includes too many inaccuracies due to errors in punctuation and spelling.”
