Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy warm relationships with adults and their peers.”
- “Pupils know and understand the school’s values of respect, kindness, community, wisdom and hope.”
- “Pupils show this through their conduct and attitudes.”
To improve
- “However, in some subject curriculums there is too much content and this makes it challenging for staff to focus on the core knowledge that pupils need to learn and remember.”
- “The school recognises that there are still too many pupils who do not attend school regularly enough.”
- “However, actions taken by the school are not improving attendance and reducing persistent absence quickly enough.”
