Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Nov 2022

Strengths

  • “Pupils enjoy coming to school and are enthusiastic about learning.”
  • “Pupils are proud of their achievements.”
  • “Many pupils said that everyone is accepted at the school.”

To improve

  • “In some subjects, leaders have not identified the most important knowledge that pupils should know and remember.”
  • “As a result, teaching does not make important knowledge explicit and tries to cover too much.”
  • “This means that not all pupils in these subjects are learning well enough.”
