Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at this welcoming school where everyone feels valued regardless of their differences.”
- “The school is ambitious for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Staff effectively support pupils in developing their vocabulary and spoken English.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the school has not ensured that teachers have the subject knowledge that they need to be able to teach the curriculum well.”
- “This means that some teachers do not cover aspects of the curriculum in sufficient detail.”
- “This leads to some pupils having gaps in their knowledge.”
