Ofsted
Good Inspected 21 May 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils attend school regularly and are eager to learn.”
- “The focus the school places on attendance has resulted in a demonstrable improvement.”
- “By the time pupils leave the school in Year 6, they know how to be successful learners.”
To improve
- “In a few foundation subjects, the school has not outlined the content of the curriculum or the sequence in which it is taught with precision.”
- “In addition, checks made on pupils’ understanding do not always identify gaps in knowledge.”
- “As a result, pupils do not build confidently on what they already know.”
