Ofsted
Good Inspected 3 July 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils behave well and want to learn.”
- “They attend regularly, look smart and work hard.”
- “Indeed, a distinctive feature of the school is the expectation that pupils will do their best and think of others.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, however, pupils do not revisit and use what they have learned often enough, which makes it harder for them to remember it.”
- “But the curriculum does not require them to use their earlier learning about locational language to help them develop their knowledge of the world.”
- “However, in some foundation subjects, assessment records are not as helpful as they might be to support future learning.”
