Ofsted
Good Inspected 22 February 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this happy school.”
- “They like learning an engaging, well thought-out curriculum.”
- “Staff know pupils, and treat them as individuals.”
To improve
- “Leaders know that, because of historic inconsistent expectations and in the quality of teaching, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge.”
- “However, at times the feedback that pupils receive is not precise enough to help them improve the quality of their work.”
- “Although the pupil premium strategy is appropriate, the impact of aspects of provision, such as enrichment opportunities, is not as rigorously tracked and adjusted as it is for pupils with SEND.”
