Good Inspected 23 February 2023
Strengths
- “Leaders are aspirational for both pupils and their families.”
- “Through the school’s hub, parents themselves can access a wide range of educational courses, such as English and mathematics skills.”
- “This enables them to support their children effectively at home.”
To improve
- “In other subjects, the curriculum has not been broken into small steps of learning and is not delivered as effectively.”
- “As a result, pupils cannot talk with as much confidence about their learning in these subjects.”
- “On occasion, some of the language used in the setting is overly ambitious.”
