Good Inspected 21 September 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming, nurturing and caring school.”
- “This helps to forge the positive relationships that exist between pupils and staff.”
- “There is a strong sense of community at the school.”
To improve
- “However, in one or two subjects, leaders have not identified all the steps in learning that pupils must take from the early years through to key stage 2.”
- “On occasions, this prevents some pupils from knowing and remembering all that they could.”
- “This is because, at times, pupils do not have enough opportunity to revisit their previous learning so that new knowledge is fully secure.”
