Ofsted
Good Inspected 16 July 2024
Strengths
- “This is a caring and ambitious school where pupils are well looked after by staff who get to know them well.”
- “This encourages pupils to talk to adults about any concerns they have.”
- “Leaders take careful account of the school community, including listening to parents and making changes based on their views.”
To improve
- “Where this is the case, teachers receive less clear guidance about the order in which pupils should learn some key concepts.”
- “Consequently, pupils’ knowledge is less secure in those areas.”
- “However, systems for checking older pupils’ understanding of the curriculum are less well established and where this is the case, pupils’ knowledge is not checked carefully against curriculum aims.”
