Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 8 November 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils are overwhelmingly proud of their school.”
- “One pupil stated, ‘This is the best school in the world.”
- “Adults have high expectations for behaviour and pupils rise to these.”
To improve
- “In a minority of subjects, teachers do not consistently check and take account of what pupils have learned.”
- “This means that sometimes pupils do not build on previous learning well enough and therefore do not achieve as well.”
- “However, the books pupils read do not always match the sounds they are learning in class.”
