Strengths
- “This is a happy, welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “Relationships are warm and nurturing.”
- “The school’s ‘RESPECT’ values underpin all aspects of the school’s work.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, teachers do not ensure that all pupils have consolidated their knowledge as fully as they need to, before moving on.”
- “This is because some aspects of curriculum practice are not embedded across all subjects.”
- “Attendance is a high priority at the school because this has been below that of other schools nationally.”
