From Ofsted report, inspected Jun 2024

Strengths

  • “Pupils typically look forward to coming to a school where they said, ‘no new day is the same’.”
  • “They enjoy learning new things.”
  • “They are safe and know that staff will help them if they have any concerns.”

To improve

  • “Sometimes, pupils’ understanding of subject-specific vocabulary is not as secure at it should be.”
  • “When this happens, pupils are helped to learn more of the subject content.”
  • “The school needs to ensure that teaching supports pupils in knowing and understanding subject-specific vocabulary.”
