Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 14 September 2022
Strengths
- “Being a good citizen and showing tolerance and respect are the hallmarks of pupils in this school.”
- “There is an unmistakably positive atmosphere here.”
- “High levels of respect exist between pupils and teachers, and between pupils and their classmates.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, such as history or art and design, the essential knowledge that pupils are supposed to learn does not build on what they already know.”
- “This prevents pupils from linking new specific knowledge to what has already been learned.”
- “Leaders are working to address weaknesses in some younger pupils’ reading.”
