Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 11 October 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy, and the majority of them attend school regularly.”
- “They are polite, respectful and confident.”
- “Pupils are eager to talk about their learning and the range of activities in which they are involved.”
To improve
- “However, some of the lesson activities for other pupils do not always match the planned curriculum closely enough.”
- “This is because staff are not always clear about what knowledge is the most important.”
- “They do not always check carefully enough what pupils know and can do and therefore cannot adapt their teaching to ensure that pupils are learning consistently well in those areas.”
