Read what Ofsted said (5)

From Ofsted report, inspected Mar 2023

Strengths

  • “Pupils are cheerful at this safe and caring school.”
  • “They share any concerns with adults and know that the staff look after them.”
  • “Adults are quick to help solve any problems, including any rare incidents of bullying.”

To improve

  • “In some foundation subjects, where subject leaders are new to the role, oversight of the curriculum is not consistent.”
  • “As a result, teaching does not implement leaders’ curricular aims securely in these subjects.”
