Strengths
- “This is a large and diverse school, where difference is valued.”
- “Pupils benefit from the carefully designed curriculum, which supports pupils in building their knowledge and understanding over time.”
- “As a result, most pupils achieve well in a range of subjects and are well prepared for the next stage of their learning.”
To improve
- “In some instances, staff do not maximise opportunities to engage pupils in discussion and debate.”
- “Occasionally, however, the activities pupils complete do not match the ambition of the intended curriculum.”
- “In these instances, pupils are not as well supported to develop the deep body of knowledge that they could.”
