Strengths

- “Respect and friendship are school values that pupils work hard to model.”
- “They appreciate their friendships with their classmates and the caring relationships that they have with staff.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, refinements to the curriculum are relatively new.”
- “However, as a result of weaknesses in the previous subject curriculum, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge that remain unaddressed.”
- “Consequently, their understanding is insecure and at times this hinders these pupils’ ability to make sense of new learning and concepts.”
