Ofsted
Good Inspected 2 February 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils and staff reflect the school’s values in all aspects of life in school.”
- “They work and play together cheerfully.”
- “They feel proud to take on responsibilities in the school community, wearing different coloured sweatshirts to indicate their roles.”
To improve
- “Leaders are developing teachers’ subject knowledge where it is less strong so that all staff anticipate common errors to support swift improvement of pupils’ understanding and skills.”
- “In a very few cases, subject leadership is in its early stages so that the precise content and the order in which it should be taught and staff training opportunities are continuing to be developed.”
- “Although pupils learn to decode words accurately, they do not spend regular time on reading practice to ensure that they all become fluent and confident readers who are ready for secondary school.”
