Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 6 June 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are proud and happy to attend this school.”
- “They have positive attitudes towards their learning.”
- “Pupils are respectful team players who enjoy socialising with their friends.”
To improve
- “However, in 2023, the proportion of pupils who left Year 6 having made the expected progress in reading, writing and mathematics was significantly below the national average.”
- “The complex needs of this cohort, and the disruption to their learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, meant that they had considerable gaps in their knowledge.”
- “Despite the strong support provided by the school, these pupils had insufficient time to catch up on missed learning.”
