Strengths
- “‘Together we achieve’ is the vision that pupils, and staff, strive to realise at this friendly school.”
- “Pupils are keen to meet the high expectations that the school has for their achievement.”
- “Many pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the school has not set out all of the important knowledge that pupils should learn.”
- “In these subjects, there remain some specific areas where the school’s curricular thinking is less clear.”
- “Very occasionally, this hinders teachers from designing learning that helps pupils to learn as deeply as they could.”
