Strengths
- “Pupils embody the school’s aim of being respectful towards one another and to staff.”
- “They strive to meet the school’s high expectations for their behaviour.”
- “Pupils achieve this with ease.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the school has not set out the important knowledge that pupils should learn.”
- “This makes it difficult for teachers to know what knowledge to prioritise when designing lessons.”
- “As a result, in these subjects, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge and do not learn as well as they could.”
