Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at Thomas Telford School.”
- “A culture of high expectations permeates every aspect of school life.”
- “From Years 7 to 13, pupils rise to the academic challenge and wealth of additional opportunities that staff provide.”
To improve
- “However, the school’s variation from standard practice in the application of attendance codes means that governors do not have a clear oversight of pupils’ attendance and behaviour.”
- “Therefore, they are hampered in their ability to hold leaders to account for aspects of the school’s performance.”
- “In addition, the school’s behaviour policy does not include all steps that leaders take to help support pupils.”
Safeguarding: Effective
