Strengths
- “Pupils feel respected and respect others at this very happy school.”
- “The school has successfully created a positive and optimistic community based on its ‘we can’ ethos.”
- “The members of the ‘Skippers’ pupil leadership group embody this mantra and are tremendous advocates for the school and their peers.”
To improve
- “However, this is not yet reflected in published outcomes, particularly for more disadvantaged pupils.”
- “However, there is still some variability across subjects and in key stage 3, which means that some pupils do not achieve as well as they could.”
- “This work is beneficial but not always as coordinated as it could be.”
