From Ofsted report, inspected Feb 2023

Strengths

  • “Leaders have created a school in which their vision of ‘healthy, happy, resilient and successful’ pupils guides every aspect of school life.”
  • “Parents and carers typically agree, expressing the view that this is ‘a kind, nurturing school’.”
  • “Pupils feel happy and safe.”

To improve

  • “Sometimes, teachers do not check and intervene to ensure pupils understand important knowledge before they move on.”
  • “This can lead to gaps in pupils’ knowledge that can slow progression through the curriculum.”
  • “Leaders should ensure that teachers check on prior learning before introducing new knowledge that builds on it.”
