Strengths
- “Pupils benefit from attending this harmonious and ambitious school.”
- “Their ‘superhero values’ displayed in every classroom, help them meet the high expectations that adults have for them.”
- “Whether they aim for the values of 'Captain' challenge, confidence, collaboration, curiosity, cooperation or creativity, pupils consistently strive to achieve well.”
To improve
- “However, in some foundation subjects, while there is an ambitious curriculum in place, leaders are still making refinements to this.”
- “They have not yet precisely thought about the order of knowledge that pupils will build over time.”
- “Some of these curriculum plans are also very new and they are yet to be fully in place in all year groups.”
