Good Inspected 24 January 2023
Strengths
- “Diversity is celebrated at this welcoming school.”
- “Pupils, including students in the sixth form, are proud to be part of a community where everyone is respected.”
- “Pupils told inspectors that ‘you can always be yourself here’.”
To improve
- “Although a very small number of pupils in Year 11 still experience a slightly narrower curriculum, the vast majority of pupils study a broad range of subjects.”
- “However, from time to time, some of the strategies that teachers use to revisit forgotten learning and address pupils’ misconceptions are less effective.”
- “This hinders pupils in building new knowledge because they find it harder to link it to earlier learning.”
