Strengths
- “Leaders ensure that the school’s values of honesty, charity and respect are simple, understood and followed by everyone.”
- “Leaders encourage pupils to reflect on their own lives and how to make a positive impact on others and the world around them.”
- “This deeper spiritual reflection develops through pupils’ learning.”
To improve
- “However, this needs some further refinement to make pupils’ learning even stronger.”
- “This is because not all the useful information subject leaders and teachers have about previous learning is being used to focus future lessons.”
- “This means pupils do not currently learn as well as they could in some subject areas.”
