Strengths
- “Highly positive relationships and staff's warm greetings help pupils to feel secure and part of the ‘Ashurst family’.”
- “Pupils enjoy one another’s company.”
- “They often give staff and each other a friendly greeting as they pass them in the corridors.”
To improve
- “However, this dipped in 2025 and pupils' attainment was lower than is usual.”
- “However, pupils' recall of some prior learning is not secure enough to help them to build on what they have already been taught.”
- “This hinders some pupils from learning all that they can in these subjects.”
