Read what Ofsted said (5)

From Ofsted report, inspected Mar 2025

Strengths

  • “The school values of courage, respect and unity are shared and lived out by pupils.”
  • “Pupils enjoy coming to school and they appreciate the strong and supportive relationships that they develop with staff.”
  • “They are happy here.”

To improve

  • “In a minority of subjects, the school’s checks on how well pupils have learned and remembered important knowledge are not fully effective.”
  • “The school should strengthen its approaches for checking pupils’ understanding of subject content across the curriculum.”
