Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected May 2023

Strengths

  • “This is a caring school where everyone is made to feel welcome.”
  • “Pupils are welcoming, courteous and accepting of others, too.”
  • “Pupils work and play alongside one another, regardless of differences or needs.”

To improve

  • “For some pupils with SEND who have complex needs, the essential knowledge that leaders want pupils to know and remember is not clearly defined or made explicit.”
  • “This results in some pupils with SEND missing key components of knowledge or skills.”
  • “Leaders should ensure that the breadth of curriculum thinking specifically sets out what they want all pupils to know and be able to do.”
