Strengths

- “They understand the school’s values, such as unity and resilience, deeply.”
- “They value the many roles and responsibilities they have, such as ‘ambassadors’, house captains and school councillors.”
To improve
- “However, at times staff do not always check some pupils’ knowledge and understanding of the curriculum fully effectively.”
- “Some pupils in some subject areas are not as secure in their understanding of what has been taught and then do not build on their prior knowledge as securely as they could.”
- “This means that they do not achieve as highly as they could in these subjects.”
