Strengths
- “Generally, pupils are happy in school, and most enjoy the wider opportunities available to them.”
- “The many sporting clubs and performing arts showcases help pupils to feel part of a supportive community.”
- “Pupils recognise how participation in The Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme helps them build important skills of resilience and teamwork.”
To improve
- “However, pupils do not have a secure understanding of fundamental British values, such as tolerance.”
- “However, too much inconsistency remains in how well the curriculum is taught.”
- “This means that the experience of pupils in the classroom is variable.”
