School remains Good Inspected 25 January 2023
Strengths
- “This is a happy and caring school.”
- “Leaders and staff have high expectations for pupils’ learning and personal development.”
- “Pupils fulfil these expectations.”
To improve
- “In some wider curriculum subjects, leaders are still getting to grips with effective assessment approaches.”
- “For example, in music, pupils love learning to play instruments, but teachers do not always check consistently that the important musical knowledge and skills have been remembered.”
- “This means that pupils are not supported as well as they could be to reach the curriculum goals set out.”
