Strengths
- “The school has a strong community ethos.”
- “It fosters a sense of belonging and purpose.”
- “Both staff and pupils embody and live daily the school’s AIR (ambition, independent and respect) values.”
To improve
- “However, the school does not ensure that the intended learning and planned curriculum are taught in full in some subjects.”
- “Consequently, pupils’ learning is not as secure in these subjects as it could be.”
- “However, pupils do not have sufficient opportunities to understand fundamental British values, such as democracy and the rule of law.”
