From Ofsted report, inspected May 2023

Strengths

  • “Pupils are proud of their school and excited to learn here.”
  • “Leaders ensure that all pupils access an ambitious curriculum.”
  • “They want learning to be relevant and reflective of the school’s community.”

To improve

  • “In a few foundation subjects, leaders do not identify precisely the important content they want pupils to learn over time.”
  • “As a result, in these subjects, teachers are not as clear as in other subjects about the small steps in pupils’ learning that they need to check and build on.”
