School remains Good Inspected 30 June 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this school and feel safe.”
- “Pupils and families know that staff have high expectations for behaviour.”
- “Pupils know that they can speak to adults or use their ‘worry boxes’ if they do ever experience issues.”
To improve
- “However, they are not consistent in ensuring pupils have secured all the key vocabulary they need to use and apply their knowledge well across all subjects.”
- “As a result, while pupils usually have a good understanding of key concepts, they are less able to remember, use and apply key vocabulary with precision.”
