Strengths
- “Pupils live out the school values of ‘respect, resilience and responsibility’.”
- “They enjoy coming to school and know staff care about them.”
- “Pupils are supported both socially and emotionally.”
To improve
- “The school knows there remains work to do to develop the curriculum in other subjects.”
- “While there is a curriculum in place, this is not always taught as effectively as the core subjects.”
- “The knowledge pupils need to learn is not explained clearly, and the checks made to find out what pupils know are not carried out as well.”
