School remains Good Inspected 20 March 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils really enjoy attending this happy, inclusive school.”
- “Some pupils explained that the best thing about their school is the way that everyone is welcomed here.”
- “They work hard and are proud of their own and each other’s achievements.”
To improve
- “However, the same rigour is not so evident in some wider curriculum subjects.”
- “In some subjects, the school has not precisely identified or sequenced clearly enough the knowledge that pupils need to learn and remember.”
- “As a result, pupils do not achieve as highly or acquire a greater depth of learning in the way that they do in English and mathematics.”
