From Ofsted report, inspected Feb 2023

Strengths

  • “Pupils are enthusiastic about coming here.”
  • “They speak knowledgeably about the broad range of subjects they study.”
  • “Pupils become confident, resilient learners.”

To improve

  • “Sometimes, teachers do not check consistently well what pupils know and remember.”
  • “This leads to inconsistencies in pupils’ subject-specific knowledge and understanding.”
  • “Leaders should ensure that all teachers address any misconceptions in pupils’ knowledge and understanding so that they are fully ready for new content.”
