School remains Good Inspected 27 September 2023
Strengths
- “They said they are happy here and like all the learning opportunities given.”
- “Leaders have high ambitions for all pupils.”
- “Pupils particularly appreciate activities provided for them outside of lessons, such as using playground equipment at breaktime and football and dance clubs.”
To improve
- “Curriculum thinking in a few subjects is not as securely embedded because it has been developed very recently.”
- “Occasionally, teaching does not check routinely the learning of pupils with SEND and, as a result, misconceptions and gaps in their understanding are not picked up and addressed quickly.”
