Curriculum and teaching - Expected standard. "Leaders have carefully reconsidered the curriculum in the wider curriculum to begin to improve pupils' achievement in some subjects."

Early years - Expected standard. "Since the last inspection, leaders have developed a curriculum that now reflects the school's ambition."

Inclusion - Expected standard. "Leaders carefully consider the use of additional funding for pupils who are disadvantaged."

Leadership and governance - Expected standard. "Leaders have an accurate understanding of the school's strengths and areas for improvement."

Personal development and wellbeing - Expected standard. "The school's programme for personal, social and health education (PSHE) helps pupils build the knowledge and skills to stay safe, including online."

Achievement - Needs attention. "Pupils do not achieve as well as they should in the wider curriculum."

Safeguarding standards were met.

Ofsted's next steps for the school: "Leaders should continue to develop and monitor wider curriculum subjects, ensuring that teachers give sufficient opportunities for pupils to recap and practise prior learning so that they deepen their knowledge"; "Leaders should ensure that teachers adapt learning to pupils' needs consistently well so that all pupils can access the curriculum successfully".
