Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Apr 2022

Strengths

  • “Pupils are happy and safe in school.”
  • “Parents and carers typically described the school as a ‘friendly community’.”
  • “They appreciate the range of extra-curricular activities, including dance and cheerleading, that leaders offer to pupils.”

To improve

  • “Occasionally, teachers do not check effectively what pupils have learned and remembered from the curriculum before moving on to teach new subject content.”
  • “When this happens, teachers do not have the full picture of pupils’ current knowledge and where there may be gaps or misconceptions.”
  • “Sometimes teachers do not encourage pupils to draw on prior learning from other subjects when teaching new material.”
