Strengths

- “Pupils embrace the school’s values, such as adaptability, communication and problem solving, which underpin strong relationships with staff and with their peers.”
- “Pupils’ behaviour during lessons and at social times is exemplary.”
To improve
- “Nonetheless, in one or two subjects, the school has not thought carefully enough about what pupils should know and remember.”
- “It has not given sufficient consideration to how pupils’ learning will build on their pre-existing knowledge.”
- “This hinders some pupils from developing a broad understanding of these subjects.”
