Strengths

• “Pupils at The Marriotts School experience a clear sense of belonging, supported by the school’s vision of ‘360-degree care’.”
• “Pupils speak warmly about the inclusive culture and the positive relationships they have with staff and peers.”
• “They are encouraged to ‘aim high, work hard, and be kind’.”

To improve

• “While teachers generally check pupils’ understanding, identify gaps in knowledge and address misconceptions appropriately, leaders recognise the need to ensure this happens consistently well across the school.”
• “While leaders have a secure oversight of all aspects of school life, they recognise the need to develop further some of the ways they evaluate the impact of their work, so that they are fully assured that pupils' needs are being consistently met.”
• “Leaders recognise the need to monitor the quality and impact of the personal development programme closely to ensure it meets pupils’ needs consistently.”
