Ofsted
Good Inspected 4 June 2024
Strengths
- “The school’s motto, ‘growing together, learning forever’, could not be more appropriate for this new school.”
- “The school has focused on developing a family culture, with a big heart.”
- “This sense of family is felt strongly by the older pupils who have been part of the school’s growth.”
To improve
- “However, while the key knowledge that pupils must know and remember is set out clearly, in some lessons, staff do not reliably focus sharply on the knowledge that pupils must learn.”
- “For some pupils, this leads to confusion.”
- “However, systems for checking what pupils have learned over time are not fully established in all subjects.”
