Strengths
- “Pupils are warm and welcoming here.”
- “They are proud of their school and many have leadership responsibilities on the school council or as prefects.”
- “Pupils look out for each other.”
To improve
- “Pupils behave well around the school, although occasionally low-level disruption is not addressed by teachers.”
- “However, in some foundation subjects, teaching does not focus precisely enough on the knowledge that pupils should learn.”
- “Assessment within these subjects does not focus on the specifics of what has been taught so does not help teachers accurately identify gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
