Strengths
- “Pupils are confident, resilient and caring.”
- “They conduct themselves impeccably and are rightly proud of their school.”
- “Pupils feel able to navigate their lives courageously.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, however, the school is still identifying the specific knowledge that pupils need to embed.”
- “This means that in those subjects staff do not check pupils’ learning as precisely, and some pupils do not always build on their prior knowledge and learn as effectively as they could.”
