School remains Good Inspected 19 July 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy to attend this warm and welcoming school.”
- “Leaders take extra care to support those pupils who join the school with English as an additional language.”
- “For example, skilled staff ensure that these pupils are well supported while their use of English is still developing.”
To improve
- “Nonetheless, some subject curriculums are in the early stages of being rolled out.”
- “Some older pupils have not benefitted from these strengthened curriculums and, over time, have developed gaps in their learning.”
- “These pupils do not learn as well as they should across the curriculum.”
