Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Jul 2024

Strengths

  • “Pupils are proud of their school community.”
  • “The school values are the heart of school life and pupils demonstrate respect for each other.”
  • “Many pupils join at different points in the year.”

To improve

  • “In some subjects, the checking of pupils’ knowledge and understanding is not precise.”
  • “Teaching does not focus sharply on ensuring that pupils revisit and, in turn, embed their understanding of important subject content.”
  • “This limits how well pupils build up and remember knowledge over time.”
