Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Feb 2024

Strengths

  • “This is a school where pupils work hard to show the school’s ‘PROUD’ values.”
  • “The value of ‘respect’ is evident in the warm, caring relationships between staff and pupils across the school.”
  • “Pupils trust that an adult will listen and help them if they have a worry.”

To improve

  • “Sometimes, pupils with SEND are not given precise enough support within lessons.”
  • “This means that some pupils do not access the curriculum as well as they could and learning is hampered.”
  • “The school needs to ensure that the support given to pupils with SEND is precise so that these pupils achieve well across the curriculum.”
