Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected May 2024

Strengths

  • “This is a happy, positive learning community for pupils.”
  • “Pupils enjoy being at school and make positive progress.”
  • “Pupils’ experience reflects the school’s core rules: to be ‘ready, respectful, safe’.”

To improve

  • “A few subjects are at an earlier stage of design and implementation in the school’s review of the curriculum.”
  • “In these instances, assessment is not used precisely to check what pupils know.”
  • “As a result, errors are not consistently identified or addressed, leading to tasks being set that do not focus on the key knowledge still to be embedded.”
