Mr Jon Hampson
Ofsted report
“The school’s motto is ‘excellence with care’. As such, leaders and staff are ambitious for all pupils to succeed, and all support them to do so. In recent years, leaders have invested considerable time working with teachers to review and improve the curriculum. They have identified the knowledge, skills and vocabulary that pupils need to gain and have planned the curriculum skilfully to ensure that each new topic builds upon and reinforces previous learning. Leaders and teachers regularly check how well pupils are doing. Where there are gaps in knowledge, teachers adjust their plans to make sure these are closed. When pupils receive feedback from teachers, they spend time improving their work. They understand where they are secure in their knowledge and how they can do better. As a result, pupils become increasingly reflective and self-reliant. They consequently make rapid progress across the curriculum.”
