Strengths

• “Pupils enjoy attending this vibrant and harmonious school.”
• “Typically, pupils behave well.”
• “They approach their learning positively.”

To improve

• “However, in a small number of subjects, teachers’ delivery of the curriculum does not help some pupils to develop the depth of understanding that they need to move onto new, and more complex, areas of learning.”
• “However, some pupils’ appreciation of the work of wider literature, for example different novelists and poets, is limited.”
• “Occasionally, pupils’ lack of wider reading knowledge hinders their access to aspects of the curriculum.”
