School remains Good Inspected 19 July 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy the kindness, respect and care of this school.”
- “They are happy, safe and well supported by adults who have high expectations of their work and their conduct.”
- “Pupils behave well and achieve well.”
To improve
- “However, a few subjects have been more recently reviewed and leaders are still in the process of defining the order in which concepts should be taught.”
- “Consequently, pupils’ knowledge develops more securely in some subjects than others.”
- “Teaching does not presently ensure that pupils are routinely exposed to subject-specific language and use it in discussions and written work.”
