Strengths
- “This is a school where pupils are safe and cared for, with parents appreciating the support their children receive.”
- “Pupils use the school’s values to guide them to make the right choices and to act wisely.”
- “Being caring is a value that is most important to the pupils, with pupil worship leaders promoting ‘21 acts of kindness’ to spread happiness across their school.”
To improve
- “Leaders are continuing work with support partners to further develop aspects of their provision such as ensuring that effective monitoring of school improvement actions is in place.”
- “However, some staff have not received the necessary subject-specific training to deliver the curriculum as intended in some subjects.”
- “In addition to this, some subject leaders are not yet fully monitoring their subjects closely enough to identify where further improvements and support for staff are needed.”
