Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 27 September 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils and many parents feel lucky to be part of this ‘happy and caring’ community, where ‘everybody feels included’.”
- “This is a school that provides a wide range of learning opportunities for all pupils.”
- “This successfully encourages most pupils to show positive attitudes to their learning and demonstrate good behaviour, both in and out of the classroom.”
To improve
- “However, more work is required to make sure that phonic lessons are being delivered with the precision needed to support the weakest readers.”
- “However, for a small number of these pupils, ‘what and how’ they learn does not always match what is on their individual learning plans.”
