Strengths
- “The school’s core values of ‘love, honesty, celebration and respect’ underpin everything pupils experience at this community school.”
- “Pupils and staff are friendly and welcoming, creating an inclusive culture throughout the school.”
- “One pupil explained, reflecting the views of many, ‘We are a big community where everyone welcomes you into one family.’”
To improve
- “However, some subjects need further development to ensure that pupils are fully confident in remembering and recalling important knowledge and skills.”
- “This means that pupils are not always learning as much as they could.”
