Ofsted

Good Inspected 6 February 2024

Strengths

“The school has high expectations of pupils’ achievements and conduct.”
“Pupils live up to these expectations.”
“In the Reception year, children form good habits for learning together.”

To improve

“Leaders have identified that, in some subjects such as mathematics, older pupils have gaps in their knowledge.”
“This is reflected in published outcomes at key stage 2 which are below what is typical nationally.”
“Where this is the case, the impact on pupils’ ability to build their knowledge and skills securely over time is not fully realised.”
