Good Inspected 19 July 2022
Strengths
- “The school’s ‘five ways to well-being’ - connect, give, take notice, keep learning, be active - underpin the school ethos and how pupils learn.”
- “Pupils understand these concepts and why they are important.”
- “They talk about their learning across the curriculum with excitement and confidence.”
To improve
- “However, leaders and governors do not have the same well-informed overview and focus on other aspects of the school’s provision, such as behaviour and pupils’ wider development.”
- “As a result, leaders are not sure of trends and patterns in behaviour incidents and how well the wider curriculum is being implemented.”
- “Governors do not challenge leaders on these aspects with the same rigour as they do with the academic curriculum.”
