Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 20 September 2023
Strengths
- “They are polite and respectful, and they extend a warm welcome to new pupils who join the school.”
- “As a result, pupils, including children in the early years, settle in quickly and are happy.”
- “Pupils respond well to the high expectations that the school has of their achievement.”
To improve
- “In a small number of curriculum areas, the school has not finalised its thinking about the key knowledge that pupils should learn.”
- “At times, in these subjects, the misconceptions that some pupils have in their learning are not addressed as effectively as they could be.”
- “When this happens, some pupils move on to new learning before they are ready to do so, and do not achieve as well as they should.”
