From Ofsted report, inspected Oct 2022

Strengths

  • “Adults and pupils work well together to ensure that pupils’ welfare and learning are well promoted.”
  • “The school is a calm and respectful place and pupils learn happily.”
  • “They conduct themselves well in lessons and during playtimes.”

To improve

  • “In a few subjects, some teachers’ subject-specific expertise is not fully secure.”
  • “As a result, pupils’ knowledge and understanding is occasionally not as deep as it could be.”
  • “Leaders should ensure that staff have the expertise to implement fully all aspects of curriculum thinking and planning.”
