Strengths
- “Pupils are safe and happy and they work hard at this school.”
- “Leaders have developed a clear vision based on the school’s Christian values, but which is inclusive for the diverse community served by the school.”
- “The values of care, courtesy, consideration, and cooperation are evident.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, however, not all the important subject content is identified clearly by leaders.”
- “This means that, in some cases, teachers do not focus on right content which can lead to gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
