Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected May 2023

Strengths

  • “This is a welcoming, warm and thoroughly inclusive place to learn.”
  • “Pupils are proud to belong to the school community.”
  • “Pupils are happy and enjoy learning.”

To improve

  • “In a few subjects, leaders’ curriculum thinking is at an earlier stage of development.”
  • “In these instances, the curriculum is not supporting pupils as well as it could to develop and deepen their understanding in a cumulative way.”
  • “Occasionally, teaching does not support pupils to build on what they have learned previously.”
