Strengths
- “Pupils and the students in the sixth form are greeted warmly every morning by staff.”
- “Through exceptionally strong and trusting relationships, pupils relish learning across a wide range of subjects.”
- “They are bursting with excitement for the day ahead.”
To improve
- “However, from time to time, the school does not use the information it holds to fully identify any patterns in pupils’ occasionally less-than-positive behaviour.”
- “This limits how well the school can ensure that it responds to pupils’ increasingly complex needs.”
Safeguarding: Effective
