Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected May 2024

Strengths

  • “This is a happy school where pupils are safe and listened to.”
  • “Typically, parents and carers describe the school as a ‘caring’ place.”
  • “Pupils who join the school part way through the school year are made to feel welcome by the other pupils.”

To improve

  • “In the foundation subjects, sometimes learning that is set does not enable pupils to consolidate key conceptual learning.”
  • “Over time, as a consequence of this, pupils’ learning is less secure and detailed as the school would like it to be.”
  • “The school should ensure that tasks are designed to allow pupils to fully deepen their learning, while recalling essential key knowledge that they know.”
