Strengths
- “Leaders, pupils and staff embody the school’s values of determination, cooperation and imagination.”
- “These values give pupils a foundation on which to understand the world around them.”
- “Pupils are proud of their school.”
To improve
- “However, in a very small number of subjects, leaders have not been clear enough in detailing what they want pupils to learn.”
- “As a result, teachers do not focus enough on teaching some of the content that pupils will need for their future learning.”
- “As a result, they are overly dependent on an adult to complete their learning.”
