Ofsted
Good Inspected 28 March 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils described their school as respectful and safe.”
- “They enjoy learning and they are keen to be involved in the wide range of trips and visits that leaders organise for them.”
- “Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and those pupils who speak English as an additional language.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, leaders are less clear about the small steps of knowledge that pupils should learn.”
- “As a result, some teachers lack clarity about the important content that pupils should learn and the order in which this should be taught.”
- “It also prevents teachers from identifying and addressing the gaps in some pupils’ learning quickly enough.”
