Strengths
- “Diversity is one of the school’s greatest strengths, shaping a highly inclusive environment where pupils are known, valued and supported to achieve their potential.”
- “Pupils benefit fully from local places of worship, including the neighbouring gurdwara, mosque and historic Quaker burial ground, reflecting the rich cultural and religious diversity that helps define the community.”
- “This broadens pupils’ experiences as they benefit from the rich cultural heritage that surrounds them.”
To improve
- “Although pupils currently attend less well than their peers nationally, this is improving over time.”
- “There are, however, some inconsistencies in the expectations staff have around pupils' spoken language.”
- “This means that pupils' confidence and clarity vary across year groups and between classes.”
