Ofsted
Good Inspected 19 September 2023
Strengths
- “Despite the turbulence of significant staff and leadership turnover since the last inspection, pupils now receive a good quality of education.”
- “The school has raised its expectations of what pupils should learn and how they should behave.”
- “This starts as soon as children arrive in Reception, where they quickly settle into their new surroundings.”
To improve
- “This, combined with the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic, meant that outcomes in the 2022 national curriculum tests were low.”
- “Pupils in the past did not learn as well as they could have done.”
- “For example, they know that procedures for checking precisely what pupils have remembered are not as developed in some subjects.”
