Strengths
- “The school’s ambition for all pupils to achieve well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), is clear.”
- “Curriculum delivery is stronger in the early years.”
- “Pupils at the school truly enjoy coming to this highly inclusive school.”
To improve
- “However, pupils do not achieve as well as they should because the curriculum is not fully developed.”
- “The school has brought about the required urgency and determination to halt the decline in standards since the previous inspection, as reflected in the weak published outcomes in 2024.”
- “Nevertheless, in some subjects the school has not identified well enough what teachers should teach and pupils should learn.”
