Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Oct 2024

Strengths

  • “The school’s motto, ‘Today’s children, tomorrow’s future’, is deeply embedded in the daily experience of all pupils and staff.”
  • “Pupils are welcomed with kindness and care.”
  • “Their cultures, along with the variety of languages that they speak, are celebrated regularly, promoting a fully inclusive school environment.”

To improve

  • “Recent changes to the curriculum have resulted in a few subjects still being in the early stages of implementation.”
  • “Additionally, staff training in these areas has not been as comprehensive as it has been for other subjects.”
  • “This means that pupils’ understanding of concepts does not build as securely in these subjects as it does in others.”
