Strengths
- “Positive relationships between staff and pupils are at the heart of this welcoming and nurturing school.”
- “The school has high ambitions for pupils’ academic success.”
- “Pupils leave school well prepared for the next stage of their education.”
To improve
- “While pupils’ understanding of the important knowledge is typically strong, in some subjects, teaching does not help pupils apply their understanding effectively enough.”
- “For example, in geography, pupils learn map reading skills but do not use and apply these skills in wider contexts.”
- “Some pupils are not aware that these skills have a purpose in the world outside of the classroom.”
