From Ofsted report, inspected Jun 2023

Strengths

  • “Positive and supportive relationships are at the centre of this inclusive school.”
  • “This helps pupils to feel safe and be kept safe.”
  • “Pupils enjoy spending time in the school garden.”

To improve

  • “In a few foundation subjects, teachers do not check as carefully what pupils have learned.”
  • “As a result, they do not identify and address misconceptions.”
  • “This means that pupils’ understanding in these areas is sometimes less secure.”
