Strengths
- “The school puts pupils at the heart of everything it does.”
- “Pupils who told inspectors that ‘they don't just hear, they listen’ summed this up.”
- “Pupils feel happy and safe, which is reflected in their high attendance.”
To improve
- “Pupils achieve well in most subjects, but there are some variations.”
- “There remains more to do before the school’s ambitions for all pupils are fully met.”
- “However, teachers’ expectations are sometimes less clear, and lesson time is not always used productively.”
