From Ofsted report, inspected Jun 2023

Strengths

  • “Leaders have developed a culture in the school where everyone feels a strong sense of community.”
  • “Pupils are extremely happy in the school.”
  • “They enjoy learning and take pride in their achievements.”

To improve

  • “Sometimes, teaching does not check or deepen pupils’ understanding and identify misconceptions quickly.”
  • “This means that pupils do not commit knowledge or key vocabulary to their long-term memories.”
