Strengths

- “They greet each other with a ‘good morning’ each day.”
- “They chat warmly to staff and are polite and friendly to visitors in school.”
To improve
- “However, despite improvements to the design of the curriculum, pupils in key stage 4, do not study a sufficiently broad range of subjects.”
- “For example, these pupils do not have lessons in the performing arts or music.”
- “This limits the choices that pupils can make at their next steps.”
