Strengths

- “They feel safe, happy and well supported.”
- “Many pupils enthusiastically take on responsibilities, such as supporting younger pupils to read and raising donations for charity.”
To improve
- “However, there are weaknesses in how well some subject curriculums are delivered, including in the sixth form.”
- “As a result, some pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and students in the sixth form, do not achieve as well as they should.”
- “However, some of these revised curriculums are still being embedded and have not had time to show impact.”
