From Ofsted report, inspected Jul 2022

Strengths

  • “Pupils enjoy coming to school.”
  • “They feel safe and secure.”
  • “They think that teachers make learning fun.”

To improve

  • “A few subjects are not thought through as precisely as they need to be.”
  • “This means that pupils do not consistently deepen their knowledge and build on what they know and can do.”
  • “In these subjects, leaders should ensure that meaningful use is made of pupils’ prior knowledge.”
