Good Inspected 8 November 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils are excited and eager to tackle the challenges of the school’s ambitious curriculum.”
- “They particularly enjoy using a range of technology to support their learning and to communicate their understanding.”
- “If they are behind, teachers help them to catch up quickly.”
To improve
- “Leaders have a little more work to do in a small number of subjects.”
- “For example, in history leaders have not identified precisely enough the key knowledge that pupils need to learn.”
- “However, too many pupils are behind with their phonics in Year 2.”
