Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Jul 2023

Strengths

  • “Pupils are happy in school.”
  • “They behave well, work hard and get on well with each other.”
  • “A higher-than-average number of pupils join the school at different times throughout the year.”

To improve

  • “In a few subjects, leaders’ checks on pupils’ learning do not focus closely enough on whether pupils know and remember what they have been taught.”
  • “This means that teachers do not always have a clear picture of what pupils know and can do.”
  • “In some areas of learning, leaders have not fully worked out the key concepts and vocabulary that children need to know and understand.”
