School remains Good Inspected 18 January 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this school and rightly so.”
- “Leaders’ high expectations, together with the school’s Christian ethos, have created a culture of mutual respect.”
- “Staff work hard to ensure that pupils feel safe and are successful in all aspects of school life.”
To improve
- “The number of pupils opting to study languages at key stage 4 is increasing but remains relatively low.”
- “Nevertheless, leaders recognise there is more work to do to increase the number of pupils who study the subject at GCSE level.”
- “On a few occasions, teachers do not adapt learning activities as well as they could to meet the full range of abilities in their group.”
