Strengths
- “Staff have high ambitions for every pupil, including disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “These ambitions are commonly realised because all staff help pupils to be the best they can be.”
- “As a result, pupils do well and achieve strong outcomes.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils, particularly those who are ready to learn new content, are not moved on to new learning quickly enough.”
- “When this happens, the learning for those pupils slows.”
