From Ofsted report, inspected Jun 2025

Strengths

  • “Pupils enjoy coming to this warm and welcoming school.”
  • “They behave well and work hard.”
  • “Pupils are kept safe and can name a trusted adult who they would talk to if they had any concerns.”

To improve

  • “In some subjects the curriculum is not delivered in as consistent, knowledgeable, and effective a fashion as it could be.”
  • “In these instances, pupils do not consistently develop the same depth of knowledge and understanding as they do in other subjects.”
  • “The school should ensure it continues to develop staff’s expertise and knowledge and ensure consistency of delivery across the curriculum.”
