Some aspects not as strong Inspected 5 March 2025
Strengths
- “Pupils’ mental health and well-being are priorities at the school.”
- “Pastoral care is of a high quality.”
- “Pupils know that adults will help them in lessons.”
To improve
- “However, pupils’ knowledge and understanding in the foundation subjects, such as history and geography, are less secure.”
- “However, a minority of pupils do not meet the school’s high expectations for behaviour and conduct at social times.”
- “These pupils can argue with one another, become involved in physical altercations or use unkind language.”
