Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 21 February 2024
Strengths
- “They relish the many experiences available to them such as the recent residential trip to Devon when they learned new skills, like body boarding and climbing.”
- “Pupils love representing the school in sporting competitions.”
- “Despite being a smaller school, pupils are proud of the successes they have, saying, ‘Do not underestimate St Edmund’s!”
To improve
- “However, in a few foundation subjects, it is not always clear what pupils need to learn over time.”
- “This means that teachers are not able to challenge pupils to learn really deeply.”
- “Expectations are not always high, and therefore, pupils do not achieve as well in these subjects as they do in others.”
