What we are doing well:
You said:
- Pupils are happy and feel safe at school.
- Pupils make good progress.
- The curriculum is engaging and offers a range of subjects.
- Parents can play an active role in school life.
- Behaviour generally is consistently well managed.
Areas for development:
You said:
- Communication is effective but can be improved.
- Behaviour is well managed, but school should continue to drive the message about bullying not being tolerated.
- Children get a range of food but sometimes it is not enough or can be a bit spicy
- The school offers a range of after school clubs, but they are not always affordable and you would like to see an even wider range of diverse clubs on offer.
- You’d like to see us get outstanding in our next Ofsted.
Next steps: During the academic year 2023-24 and beyond, the school’s leadership team and staff will discuss specific actions needed to ensure continuous improvement which will focus on the areas highlighted above. We will keep you updated as to how we are assessing some of these areas for development throughout the year.
Ofsted Parent View
If you are a registered parent or carer of a pupil at the school, you can tell us your views about the school by completing Ofsted’s online survey, Parent View.
Parent View asks for your opinion on 12 aspects of our school, from the quality of teaching, to dealing with bullying and poor behaviour. OfSTED inspectors will use the online survey responses when inspecting the school.
