Good Inspected 28 February 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well in all aspects of their development.”
- “The school’s vision for inspiring and nurturing pupils runs like a golden thread through all of its work.”
- “Pupils, and children in the early years, come into school with smiles on their faces, happy to see their friends and staff.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, this content has not been refined.”
- “From time to time, this hinders teachers in designing learning for pupils that builds securely on what they already know.”
- “This means that some pupils do not achieve as well as they could.”
