Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Mar 2022

Strengths

  • “Pupils enjoy coming to this school and feel safe.”
  • “Pupils and families know that staff have high expectations for behaviour.”
  • “Pupils said that bullying rarely happens.”

To improve

  • “In a small number of subjects, leaders have not thought as carefully about what pupils need to learn and in what order.”
  • “Where this is the case, it is not clear exactly what ideas and knowledge pupils need to be taught.”
  • “To address this, leaders should refine their curricular thinking in these subjects.”
