Strengths

- “Pupils get to know each other really well.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the school is still working on identifying precisely the necessary knowledge that pupils need.”
- “In these subjects, pupils do not acquire the same depth of understanding as they do in others because they are not taught some important subject knowledge.”
- “However, expectations in writing vary and pupils are not always provided with opportunities to write at length and practise what they are taught in English lessons.”
