Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Jun 2024

Strengths

  • “Pupils enjoy attending this diverse school.”
  • “They are taught to respect differences no matter what identity people have.”
  • “The school has high expectations of what pupils learn.”

To improve

  • “The school does not provide pupils with a broad and balanced curriculum consistently.”
  • “This is because the new curriculum is not embedded and some subjects are infrequently taught, particularly at key stage 2.”
  • “As a result, pupils are not building up knowledge in a range of subjects and are not prepared for the next stage of their education.”
