Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Mar 2024

Strengths

  • “Pupils enjoy coming to this happy school, where they are taught to be assertive and articulate right from the start in the early years.”
  • “Pupils provide a warm welcome to visitors to the school and readily interact, showing a polite curiosity.”
  • “They feel safe in school and are confident that staff will resolve any issues that arise.”

To improve

  • “In some subjects, the curriculum does not identify the key knowledge that pupils need to learn precisely enough.”
  • “This means that some pupils do not develop detailed knowledge and skills across the curriculum.”
  • “The school should ensure that they fully identify the key knowledge to be taught in all subjects in line with the best practice in other subjects.”
