Strengths
- “The school provides a welcoming, family-like atmosphere in which pupils flourish, both personally and academically.”
- “Pupils are nurtured by caring staff who know them well.”
- “There are strong relationships between all members of the school community, and they rightly feel privileged to be a part of this school.”
To improve
- “However, in one or two subjects, the school’s curriculum is less clear, so teachers are not provided with the same level of curriculum information.”
- “Occasionally, this hinders teachers from delivering these subjects as well as they otherwise could.”
