Strengths
- “Pupils are proud of the diverse nature and inclusive ethos of their school.”
- “Pupils are polite, welcoming and articulate.”
- “They work hard and generally behave very well.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, however, activities are not carefully matched to pupils’ needs.”
- “This means that some work is not completed by pupils, and the subsequent gaps in pupils’ knowledge are sometimes not followed up.”
- “The number of fixed term exclusions has risen sharply recently, and this disproportionately affects some groups of pupils.”
