From Ofsted report, inspected May 2023 (inspected as predecessor)

Strengths

  • “Pupils enjoy attending this happy and welcoming school.”
  • “Pupils behave well here.”
  • “The school environment is calm and orderly.”

To improve

  • “In some subjects, leaders have not set out what they expect pupils to learn.”
  • “This means that teachers do not focus sufficiently on important concepts, and pupils do not build a deep body of knowledge in these subjects.”
  • “Adults do not consistently use the agreed phonic strategies when supporting pupils to read.”
