Good Inspected 7 June 2023
Strengths
- “Leaders’ sharp focus on developing a new school ethos, curriculum and community has been highly successful.”
- “Following the school’s opening in September 2020, leaders have worked hard to support the school’s growing population.”
- “Leaders have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
To improve
- “However, some teachers do not use assessment precisely enough to determine what pupils know and remember.”
- “As a result, subsequent learning is not adapted when needed and some pupils do not build their knowledge as well as they could.”
