Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Oct 2024

Strengths

  • “Pupils are looked after well in this school and describe it as a ‘second home’ to them.”
  • “They flourish under the care of adults who know them very well.”
  • “Pupils look forward to the learning experiences each day brings.”

To improve

  • “Sometimes, teaching does not check and make sure that pupils have the required knowledge to understand new concepts.”
  • “When this happens, pupils struggle to grasp new learning which leads to some gaps in their understanding.”
  • “The school should ensure that pupils have a secure understanding of the important knowledge required before introducing new learning.”
