Strengths
- “Pupils thrive at this caring and kind community school.”
- “Leaders have established a caring ethos, where high expectations are set for both pupils’ academic development and their personal growth.”
- “As a result, pupils have a positive attitude towards their learning and achieve well.”
To improve
- “In a small minority of subjects, the work given to pupils does not support them as well to achieve the ambitious end points set out in the curriculum.”
- “The school's range of extra-curricular opportunities for pupils to develop their interests and talents, or take part in competitive sport, has been adversely affected by the pandemic and recent staff turnover.”
