Strengths
- “There are a variety of activities that help to give them a well-rounded and rich school experience.”
- “Pupils become very confident and independent.”
- “They have leadership responsibilities that they fulfil with pride and make a real difference to the school community.”
To improve
- “There are a small number of subjects where this is less so.”
- “In these subjects, the school has not as clearly thought through what pupils will learn in terms of the detail and order.”
- “As a result, teachers do not build on what has come before as effectively in these subjects.”
