Strengths

“Pupils know the school’s values of ‘faith, family, future and flourish’ deeply.”
“Pupils talk confidently about how the school helps them to be kind as a starting point for their relationships and learning.”
“Staff and pupils model calm, warm interactions that reflect the school’s values wonderfully.”

To improve

“However, this is not as fully consistent as it could be across all subjects.”
“A small proportion of pupils, therefore, do not achieve as well as they could.”
“However, at times teachers’ checks on pupils’ learning within some subjects do not support pupils’ learning as positively.”
