Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Jan 2025

Strengths

  • “Pupils enjoy coming to school, playing with their friends and learning.”
  • “Pupils are taught to respect each other and demonstrate the school’s values in their interactions.”
  • “Beginning in early years, children are taught to check in on their emotions so they can be ready to learn.”

To improve

  • “In some subjects, assessment is not used as effectively to check what pupils know, identify misconceptions and inform the next steps of teaching.”
  • “As a result, some pupils are not given sufficient time to practise and embed ideas before they apply them to more complex concepts.”
  • “This means, at times, pupils struggle to connect their learning to larger ideas.”
