Read what Ofsted said (5)

From Ofsted report, inspected Mar 2025

Strengths

  • “Pupils, parents and carers and staff are proud to be part of this friendly and welcoming school community.”
  • “Core values, such as justice, respect, service and kindness, are at the heart of pupils’ experiences.”
  • “Staff take time to get to know pupils and their families well.”

To improve

  • “In a few subjects, teaching does not enable pupils to revisit and consolidate their learning from previous years.”
  • “As a result, pupils do not know and remember as much of the curriculum as they could.”
