Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Jul 2024

Strengths

  • “Pupils thrive in this welcoming and supportive school.”
  • “They are proud of its inclusive ethos.”
  • “The school’s values of ‘love’, ‘compassion’ and ‘respect’ are lived out daily by pupils and staff.”

To improve

  • “On occasion, the implementation of the ambitious curriculum does not enable some pupils to secure their understanding as well as it could.”
  • “This is because sometimes, teachers do not check learning regularly and address misconceptions quickly enough.”
  • “This means that some pupils’ knowledge of important subject content is not as developed and embedded as it should be.”
