Strengths
- “The school has high expectations for all pupils.”
- “It is working effectively to establish these aspirations through recent strengthening of the school’s curriculum and the accreditation routes available to pupils.”
- “Across the school, from the early years through to the sixth form, pupils’ futures are carefully considered.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, when the detail of what pupils need to learn over time is not specified, pupils do not learn new knowledge in a way that enables them to build their learning securely.”
- “Sometimes, pupils have gaps in their prior knowledge that mean they cannot build on previous learning to access more complex ideas.”
- “However, there is some variability in the way teachers carry out these checks.”
