Strengths
- “Recent rapid improvements reflect the ambition of leaders to ensure that all pupils will now get the teaching and support they need to achieve well.”
- “Pupils are beginning to learn from a broad curriculum which is now more coherently planned.”
- “Pupils feel safe and learn in calm classrooms.”
To improve
- “The school recognises how changes in leadership over time have had a negative impact on the quality of education provided to its pupils.”
- “However, currently, the way some subjects are taught is inconsistent.”
- “This means that pupils do not learn as well as they should across the full curriculum.”
