Strengths
- “Since the school’s previous inspection, leaders have taken decisive and effective action to improve the quality of teaching and learning as well as pupils’ behaviour in and outside the classroom.”
- “Consequently, pupils’ are typically attentive and calm in lessons and academic outcomes in assessments at the end of Year 6 are typically in line with national averages.”
- “Pupils are happy and feel safe.”
To improve
- “On a few occasions, the intended curriculum is not as equally well delivered.”
- “When subject expertise is not as secure and checks on pupils’ understanding are not as robust, what pupils know and can do is not as firmly understood.”
- “Therefore, pupils’ misconceptions sometimes go unaddressed, and pupils’ knowledge is not built up as securely over time.”
