Ofsted
Good Inspected 7 November 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this caring and welcoming school.”
- “They are positive about their learning and work hard in lessons.”
- “Deep-rooted compassion and a clear understanding of the barriers that some pupils face do not hinder the drive to ensure that every pupil thrives and achieves well across the curriculum.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of wider curriculum subjects, the school is in the process of developing the systems to check whether pupils remember these concepts over time.”
- “This starts in the early years and continues into key stage 2.”
- “Although pupils try hard with all aspects of their learning, some pupils do not always record their written work using fluent, legible handwriting.”
