Ofsted
Good Inspected 16 May 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils, and their parents and carers, are proud to be part of this very inclusive school.”
- “Pupils are happy in the school.”
- “They said that it is a place which welcomes people of all faiths and no faith and which encourages all pupils to become their very best.”
To improve
- “However, in a few foundation subjects, leaders and teachers do not have as strong an overview of how well pupils are developing their subject knowledge across a series of lessons.”
- “They do not check if all pupils fully understand key ideas which are crucial for the next steps in their learning.”
- “As a result, in these foundation subjects, teachers are not sufficiently clear about how well pupils are achieving over time or if they need to adapt future teaching to address any gaps in learning.”
