Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school.”
- “Staff have consistently high expectations of pupils in both their learning and behaviour.”
- “They get to know pupils well in order to meet their needs.”
To improve
- “Consequently, despite the ambitious intent, the school’s implementation of curricular changes is not embedded in a few subjects.”
- “This means there are gaps in pupils’ knowledge and subject-specific understanding.”
- “Leaders work closely with families to improve pupil attendance, as at times this is a concern.”
