Ofsted
Some aspects not as strong Inspected 14 May 2025
Strengths
- “This school is a happy and nurturing place to learn.”
- “Pupils have warm and positive relationships with staff.”
- “‘The Cove’ gives pupils a supportive space for them to have their emotional needs met.”
To improve
- “Following the previous inspection, the school experienced a period of turbulence which caused the quality of education to decline.”
- “As a result, pupils did not learn as well as they should.”
- “However, some of these changes have not had long enough to take root and pupils’ learning across some subjects is uneven as a result.”
