Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Nov 2022

Strengths

  • “Pupils are happy and safe at this school.”
  • “They describe the atmosphere here as being kind and caring.”
  • “Leaders strive to provide pupils with the education and social skills they need to prosper in life.”

To improve

  • “Owing to some recent changes to curriculum leadership and design, there are a few inconsistencies in curriculum thinking and implementation.”
  • “This means that although pupils achieve well overall across the subjects, in some curriculum areas they do not routinely build up detailed knowledge over time.”
  • “Leaders should draw on the strongest practice already in the school.”
