Read what Ofsted said (6)

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

Strengths

  • “Since the previous inspection, significant changes in leadership have left the school with insufficient capacity to run effectively.”
  • “Leadership is overwhelmed.”
  • “Too much responsibility is held by too few people.”

To improve

  • “Some pupils with SEND are not identified or supported promptly or effectively.”
  • “This means that they do not learn and remember the intended curriculum.”
  • “The school should increase its capacity to identify and plan effective provision for these pupils.”
