Strengths
- “'Be respectful, be ready, be resilient' is the school's motto and leaders ensure that this is at the heart of school life.”
- “Each day begins with a warm welcome from staff, helping pupils feel valued and supported as individuals.”
- “Pupils from all backgrounds settle quickly and feel a genuine sense of belonging.”
To improve
- “Leaders are continuing their work to ensure that disadvantaged pupils consistently attain well in all areas.”
- “Their knowledge is not as secure in some subjects.”
