Good Inspected 5 March 2024
Strengths
- “They come to school eager to learn and are excited to see their friends and teachers.”
- “Pupils live their school values of ‘empathy, inclusivity, respect, aspiration, determination and empowerment’ because staff reinforce these at every opportunity.”
- “They leave the school well prepared for their next stage of learning, having demonstrated the school motto of ‘learning today, leading tomorrow’.”
To improve
- “In a few areas of the curriculum, this is not as precise.”
- “This means there are occasions where pupils do not deepen their knowledge over time in these less developed subject areas.”
- “Pupils readily take on a range of leadership roles when selected but are unclear as to what decisions they can make.”
