School remains Good Inspected 27 September 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils try hard to embody the school’s three rights: the right to safety, the right to respect and the right to learn.”
- “Following these every day helps pupils to achieve well, both in and out of the classroom.”
- “The school works hard to keep pupils safe, tenaciously securing suitable support.”
To improve
- “At times, there are issues in the teaching instruction and its link to the work set.”
- “For example, if a teacher’s explanation is lengthy, pupils’ attention wanes, and teachers are slow to notice and address this.”
- “It then hinders pupils from remembering information and starting their work quickly to give them enough opportunity for practice.”
