Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Feb 2022 (inspected as predecessor)

Strengths

  • “The school’s motto is, ‘a small school where big things happen’.”
  • “This is certainly true in the way in which staff encourage pupils to always aim high.”
  • “The curriculum is planned to enable pupils to achieve well.”

To improve

  • “Leaders have not clearly outlined their expectations for pupils’ learning in a few curriculum areas.”
  • “This means that, in these areas, pupils are not developing and deepening their knowledge as fully as they do in other subjects.”
  • “Leaders should ensure that their curriculum thinking is equally clear in all subject areas.”
