Strengths
- “Staff successfully support pupils socially and emotionally, something which both pupils and the majority of parents and carers understandably value.”
- “One parent, reflecting the views of many, commented, 'The school's pastoral support has been amazing for my children.”
- “The school is always on hand to listen to my concerns and offer support.'”
To improve
- “These positive dimensions to the school do not currently extend to pupils' learning.”
- “Too often, expectations of what pupils will achieve are low.”
- “Pupils with additional barriers, such as those with SEND and disadvantaged pupils, do not make enough progress through the curriculum.”
