Some aspects not as strong Inspected 26 March 2025
Strengths
- “After a decline in standards, and high pupil absence, fresh leadership has brought higher expectations.”
- “Pupils are responding well to these.”
- “This shows in their very positive behaviour, increasing attendance and attentive attitudes to learning.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, there is still more to do to develop the quality of teaching and pupils’ learning in different subjects, and to increase attendance.”
- “However, while standards are rising, some pupils do not achieve as well as they could.”
- “Since the previous inspection, there have been high levels of pupil absence, and academic standards declined.”
