Strengths
- “There is a strong, shared, ambitious vision for all pupils who attend this school.”
- “Students choose to study at the sixth form because of its small, supportive atmosphere.”
- “Academic and pastoral support for all pupils is of a high quality.”
To improve
- “While the school has many pastoral strengths, currently pupils do not achieve as well as they need to in external tests and assessments.”
- “Instability in staffing and changes in leadership have impacted the school’s improvement journey.”
- “However, sometimes the activities that pupils are given do not match the intended learning as well as they might.”
