Strengths
- “Pupils at St Wilfrid’s are proud to be part of a big community that shares strong values.”
- “Pupils and parents say that this is ‘their’ school.”
- “Diverse backgrounds are celebrated in a safe environment.”
To improve
- “However, the proportion of pupils taking a modern foreign language, as well as history or geography, is particularly low.”
- “Some staff do not consistently have high enough expectations, and teaching activities sometimes do not help all pupils, especially the most able, to learn the ambitious curriculum.”
- “This means that some pupils do not always learn as much as they should.”
