Ofsted
Some aspects not as strong Inspected 13 November 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils respond very well to the school’s high expectations of them.”
- “This is evident in the improvement in many pupils’ attendance and their strong behaviour.”
- “They enjoy being rewarded for their positive conduct.”
To improve
- “In the past, the school did not always act effectively enough to support pupils’ achievements.”
- “As a result, outcomes for pupils, especially disadvantaged pupils, have declined.”
- “While these are effective, they have not been in place long enough to show a sustained, positive impact on pupils’ achievements.”
