Strengths
- “The school’s aim of ‘working together to achieve success’ is lived out by the staff and pupils.”
- “One parental comment, typical of many, described the staff as ‘awesome’.”
- “Many other parents and carers agree that their children are happy and work hard here.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders have not thought carefully enough about the opportunities pupils have to practise and revisit key knowledge and skills.”
- “As a result, in these subjects, pupils cannot always remember what they have learned.”
- “However, in a small number of subjects, checks are not made to ensure that small steps have been learned.”
