Strengths
- “From the moment pupils start at the school they learn to show respect for everyone and everything by following ‘The Park Gate Way’.”
- “Pupils receive an engaging education, surrounded by classmates who want to achieve their best.”
- “Teachers have thought about every lesson carefully, and they want pupils to get as much out of every moment as possible.”
To improve
- “However, some subject curriculums have had more time to embed than others.”
- “As a result, pupils have not yet had the opportunity to attain the full knowledge and skills that leaders want for them.”
- “Therefore, pupils do not achieve as well as they could.”
