Good Inspected 11 October 2023
Strengths
- “Treating others in the same way that you would like to be treated yourself is a school rule that pupils and staff alike embrace at this welcoming school.”
- “Many pupils are kind, polite and take pride in being part of the school community.”
- “This helps pupils to feel happy.”
To improve
- “That said, in a small number of subjects, some learning activities that pupils are provided with do not help them to build a deep body of knowledge.”
- “In these few subjects, pupils’ understanding of the important knowledge that they have previously been taught is insecure.”
- “However, in a small number of subjects, these checks on pupils’ recall of previous learning are not routinely carried out.”
