School remains Good Inspected 26 May 2022
Strengths
- “Leaders have strengthened the quality of education so pupils learn an ambitious curriculum.”
- “They have high expectations that ‘every minute is a learning minute’.”
- “Leaders provide wider experiences to enrich the curriculum, including the ‘Phizzi lab’, where pupils can conduct scientific experiments.”
To improve
- “However, leaders have not considered carefully enough how they find out what pupils remember.”
- “This means that some pupils do not build quickly enough on what they already know.”
- “Despite this, for some pupils with SEND, the support they need is not pinpointed exactly.”
