Strengths
- “The majority of pupils learn well at this school.”
- “They enjoy the opportunity to study a wide range of subjects, and they are prepared well for their next steps in life.”
- “Many pupils feel proud to go on and study courses in the school’s growing sixth form.”
To improve
- “However, some feel uncomfortable because of the behaviour of other pupils, and this is not tackled consistently well by staff.”
- “Sometimes pupils’ learning is interrupted by disruptive behaviour, and this is not always dealt with effectively by teachers.”
- “However, during lessons, teachers do not always check that pupils have understood what is being taught before moving on.”
