Strengths
- “The school works with determination to prepare pupils to become confident and well-rounded future citizens of their own communities and the world beyond.”
- “The school balances high expectations for pupils’ academic achievements with a warm and nurturing approach.”
- “Pupils live up to these expectations and achieve well.”
To improve
- “However, in mathematics, some pupils are not given the same opportunities to apply their knowledge to solve mathematical problems as their peers.”
- “This can limit their ability to develop a deep understanding of the subject.”
- “However, the school’s extra curriculum offer is limited even though pupils express their desire to have the chance to be creative, participate in the arts and experience a wider range of sports.”
