Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Oct 2024

Strengths

  • “The school is a happy place.”
  • “Pupils care about the school and each other.”
  • “Many pupils hold elected positions of responsibility.”

To improve

  • “Sometimes, the school does not pinpoint specific gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
  • “When this is the case, teaching and support is not precisely focused to address them.”
  • “This means that pupils are not helped to catch up as quickly as they could.”
