Strengths

- “Staff take the time to check how pupils are feeling.”
To improve
- “In the main, pupils across the school conduct themselves well, although a small number struggle to concentrate as well as they should during learning time.”

- “Therefore, some pupils were not prepared as well as they could be for the next stage of their education.”
