Strengths
- “Pupils proudly exemplify the school values of ‘safety, caring, achievement, resilience, and friendship’.”
- “These ‘SCARF’ values are interwoven through the school and can be seen in how happy pupils are to try new things and how hard they work in lessons.”
- “There is a sense of purpose and positivity that pervades the school.”
To improve
- “This process is not as effective in foundation subjects.”
- “While learning is assessed in these subjects, it is not precise enough to help teachers to know what gaps in knowledge pupils may have.”
- “This means that future lessons may not be as effective as they could be in helping pupils to build secure knowledge over time.”
