Ofsted
Good Inspected 21 March 2023
Strengths
- “Leaders and staff hold what is best for pupils at the centre of everything they do.”
- “Pupils and parents and carers overwhelmingly agree that ‘The Whitkirk Way’ is both friendly and inclusive.”
- “Staff create a happy environment where pupils feel safe and want to learn.”
To improve
- “However, the knowledge gained in some subjects, such as design and technology and religious education, is less developed than in others.”
- “Pupils can recall current and recent learning but find it difficult to recall things they have learned in previous terms and years.”
- “This means that learning in these subjects is less secure, particularly for older pupils, who have had less time to benefit from recent improvements.”
