Strengths
- “The school strives for all pupils to realise the motto, ‘To be the best that we can be’.”
- “Pupils are keen to meet the high expectations that the school has for them to achieve well.”
- “Many pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), leave the school well prepared for the next stage of education.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the school curriculum does not cover all of the content that is set out in the national curriculum.”
- “As a result, pupils do not deepen their knowledge as well as they should in these few subjects.”
