Good Inspected 19 October 2023
Strengths
- “In that time, they build positive working relationships with staff, feel safe and are encouraged to feel valued.”
- “The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve all that they can.”
- “Parents and carers are positive about their children’s experience here.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, when the detail of what pupils need to learn and remember over time is not as clearly thought through and specified, teachers are less clear about what pupils need to be taught and pupils have gaps in their knowledge.”
- “However, support with reading for secondary-age pupils who join the school with significant gaps in their reading knowledge is not as finely tuned to their individual needs to help them gain reading fluency and confidence and catch up quickly.”
