Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 9 May 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this school and described it as being kind and welcoming to all.”
- “The school’s values of being respectful, responsible and resilient are shown daily through pupils’ consideration and compassion towards each other and their approach to school life.”
- “Strong, affirming relationships between pupils and adults makes sure that pupils feel safe and secure.”
To improve
- “However, the curriculum is still to be finalised in a small number of subjects.”
- “In these subjects, the school has not refined exactly what pupils should learn and when this subject content should be taught.”
- “This makes it more difficult for teachers to design learning that helps pupils to build on what they already know.”
