Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 27 September 2023
Strengths
- “Staff, school leaders and trust leaders are hugely ambitious for pupils.”
- “Pupils learn well as a result of a continually improving, well-taught curriculum.”
- “Pupils are building impressive knowledge in a range of subjects.”
To improve
- “In these areas, pupils can recall what they have been taught in the past, but not to the same impressive degree as in more established subjects.”
- “The school has adopted similar approaches to curriculum design in key stage 1, but teachers here have not had the same level of training to support its implementation.”
- “However, the early years curriculum is not sufficiently aligned to the deep knowledge that pupils are building in subsequent years.”
