Requires improvement Inspected 14 May 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are beginning to benefit from recent improvements.”
- “Pupils recognise that behaviour is improving and that expectations are now clearer.”
- “The majority of pupils are polite and respectful.”
To improve
- “This has made it difficult for some pupils to build trust and have confidence that staff will be able to resolve any concerns.”
- “However, there remains significant variability in the way that the curriculum is implemented, due, in part, to changes in staffing.”
- “Consequently, some pupils do not achieve as well as they should.”
