Ofsted
Good Inspected 4 June 2024
Strengths
- “This is a school where everyone matters.”
- “Pupils are known for their individual qualities.”
- “They benefit from the kind relationships that they have with each other and with staff.”
To improve
- “The school’s published data for writing in 2023 indicated that some pupils’ attainment at the end of Year 6 was significantly below the national average.”
- “While pupils typically learn extremely well in most subjects, pupils’ foundational knowledge and stamina in writing was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
- “However, the school has not gone far enough in identifying the key knowledge that pupils should gain.”
