Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Jun 2024

Strengths

  • “Pupils are rightly proud of their school.”
  • “They demonstrate mature attitudes towards their peers, champion inclusivity and have deep knowledge of their human rights.”
  • “Bullying is very rare, and pupils feel able to advocate for themselves and others.”

To improve

  • “On occasion, pupils’ understanding is not sufficiently checked.”
  • “In these instances, some pupils do not secure the important knowledge they need to progress through the curriculum and achieve well.”
  • “The school should continue to ensure assessment is used more consistently to ensure that all pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education.”
