Good Inspected 29 November 2023
Strengths
- “Despite being split across two sites, there is a strong sense of unity.”
- “Children in the early years are educated at the Eppleby Forcett site and experience a seamless transition to the Middleton Tyas site when they join Year 1.”
- “The school ensures that all pupils are safe and happy.”
To improve
- “While pupils can talk about some of their learning, they mostly remember isolated facts or pieces of information.”
- “Teaching does not consistently support pupils to make links between their learning, or to understand how experts in different subjects might work.”
- “For example, pupils cannot talk about the types of work historians might undertake to help them understand the past.”
