From Ofsted report, inspected Mar 2024

Strengths

  • “Leaders have developed a welcoming culture in the school where all pupils feel valued.”
  • “Staff know their pupils very well and working relationships are positive.”
  • “As a result, pupils are happy and safe in school.”

To improve

  • “Sometimes, staff do not help pupils to embed and use knowledge fluently or use checks on understanding to inform teaching.”
  • “This means that sometimes pupils are not ready to learn new content and concepts or commit knowledge to the long-term memory.”
