Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy and benefit from their time at school.”
- “They happily live up to the school motto: aspire, believe, achieve.”
- “Pupils take pride in their individual achievements and celebrate the success of others.”
To improve
- “Pupils told us in discussion and commented in Ofsted’s online survey that, occasionally, the noise of other pupils distracts them from learning as well as they could.”
- “At times, however, staff do not understand the detail of the guidance so they do not provide exactly what is required.”
- “As a result, some pupils with SEND do not learn as well as they could.”
