Strengths

- “Pupils describe how they ‘have freedom but also responsibility’.”
- “They take these responsibilities seriously and strive to meet them through demonstrating the school’s values of kindness, respect and ambition in all they do.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, these checks have not been in place for long enough to help teachers adapt and refine their curriculum sequences.”

- “However, leaders recognise the importance of continuing to work with parents to develop strong habits of attendance so that pupils do not miss out on important learning.”
