Strengths

- “The school’s values of ‘courage, humility, wisdom, compassion and perseverance’ are embedded into everyday life.”
- “They are proud of how their teachers link learning with the local environment.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the school’s curriculum thinking has not been specific enough about what pupils need to know.”
- “This means that pupils do not always connect new knowledge to previous learning effectively.”
- “In these few subjects, pupils do not learn as well as they could.”
