Good Inspected 25 January 2023
Strengths
- “The three core values ‘respect, reflect and resilience’ shine through this school.”
- “Pupils know and understand these values.”
- “Relationships of respect and care exist between pupils and staff.”
To improve
- “However, at times, some teachers do not choose the most appropriate activities to help pupils to learn new knowledge.”
- “This prevents some pupils from reaching ambitious end points.”
- “However, in subjects other than mathematics and English, leaders have not identified the precise knowledge that they want children to learn by the end of Reception.”
