Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at this happy and harmonious school.”
- “They work hard to realise the school motto of ‘Together Everyone Achieves More’.”
- “Pupils are safe and cared for.”
To improve
- “On occasion, in subjects where curriculums have been recently revised, teachers do not revisit essential knowledge often enough.”
