Strengths
- “Pupils are extremely positive about Hamilton Lodge.”
- “They think that it is a friendly place where they feel safe.”
- “Poor behaviour does not interfere with their learning because staff have consistently high expectations, in and outside of the classroom.”
To improve
- “Leaders acknowledge that more work needs to be done to ensure that the curriculum is more closely sequenced between each phase of the school.”
- “However, the school’s careers programme in key stages 3 and 4 is not as effective as it is for older students.”
- “A small amount of negativity was expressed around the recent consultation and subsequent restructuring exercise that is currently under way.”
