Strengths
- “Pupils are hugely enthusiastic about their school.”
- “They are rightly proud of their achievements and how well everyone gets along.”
- “The school goes above and beyond to support pupils’ well-being and build positive relationships.”
To improve
- “However, there are some inconsistencies in how ambitious the work set in some of these other subjects is.”
- “This limits how well pupils have their knowledge deepened and extended so that they can achieve as highly as they are capable of.”
- “However, there are sometimes missed opportunities to extend their learning even further.”
