Good Inspected 14 September 2022
Strengths
- “Everyone can be a leader at this school.”
- “Pupils are taught to value themselves.”
- “Leaders are ambitious for all pupils.”
To improve
- “However, a minority of teachers do not routinely check if pupils have any gaps in their knowledge.”
- “This means that sometimes pupils are moved on to new learning too quickly.”
- “However, teachers do not consistently receive detailed and precise information about some of the pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) who do not have an EHC plan.”
