Strengths
- “Pupils are keen to share their thoughts and opinions, enjoying open and honest discussions.”
- “They happily talk about the many things that they like about their school.”
- “These include having extra responsibilities, which helps them feel part of the community and boosts their self-esteem.”
To improve
- “Staff have raised expectations, but these need to be higher for a few pupils because they display negative behaviour in lessons.”
- “Occasionally, this slows down learning.”
- “However, in some other subjects, pupils have gaps in their knowledge and do not achieve as well as they should.”
