Strengths
- “Pupils arrive at school smiling each day.”
- “They build positive relationships with leaders and staff, who know them well.”
- “The large number of pupils who join or return to the school mid-year settle quickly.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes their punctuality remains variable.”
- “However, they do not achieve as well as they should because the curriculum they study is in the early stages of implementation.”
- “Even so, gaps in pupils' knowledge mean that they are not as well prepared as they should be for their next stage of education.”
