School remains Good Inspected 19 June 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are proud of their school.”
- “They behave well and they are kind towards each other.”
- “Pupils readily assume roles of responsibility, such as being members of the school council and play leaders.”
To improve
- “It is in the process of further refining the delivery of the curriculum across a range of subjects to ensure that pupils learn as well as they should.”
- “However, from time to time, some staff do not check that pupils’ knowledge is secure before introducing new learning.”
- “On occasion, this hinders how deeply some pupils, including some with SEND, learn.”
