Strengths
- “Pupils are supported to be confident and articulate.”
- “They embrace the school’s value of personal integrity, building a sense of responsibility for their own choices and their learning.”
- “Pupils benefit from a broad curriculum that develops their understanding of the world around them.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, leaders are still fine-tuning how consistently well the curriculum is implemented.”
- “Some teachers do not always adapt or check on pupils’ learning precisely enough.”
- “This means some pupils do not learn as much as they could and therefore do not always achieve highly.”
