Good Inspected 14 June 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils have benefited from the substantial improvements that leaders have recently made across this school.”
- “Pupils said that leaders have raised their expectations of their behaviour.”
- “Most pupils understand that this is because leaders want the best for them.”
To improve
- “However, some teachers do not execute these strategies effectively.”
- “As a result, some pupils, including pupils with SEND, develop gaps in their learning which teachers do not identify and address as swiftly as they could.”
- “While many staff and pupils spoke about considerable improvements in behaviour recently, a small number of pupils, parents and carers said that behaviour sometimes disrupts learning.”
