Ofsted
Good Inspected 3 October 2023
Strengths
- “The school has high expectations for every pupil to fulfil their potential.”
- “This is realised through the high-quality work that pupils produce and the enjoyment they have for learning.”
- “The school’s motto, ‘Growing hearts and minds together’, is woven into pupils’ everyday experiences.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, not all staff accurately spot and address misconceptions or ensure that pupils consistently remember key content over time.”
- “This means that pupils sometimes find it hard to make links between new learning and what they have learned before.”
