Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 28 June 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils and staff are proud members of their school.”
- “Pupils are happy and enjoy playing together at breaktimes and lunchtimes.”
- “Pupils trust that adults will swiftly deal with any issues.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, pupils are not remembering with fluency what they have been taught, and they are unable to make connections across their learning.”
- “This is because, at times, lessons are not focusing enough on the knowledge, skills and vocabulary identified in curriculum thinking.”
- “However, across the curriculum, some teaching does not build in checks on pupils’ understanding as effectively.”
