Strengths
- “The school has equally high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Pupils are polite, courteous and respectful.”
- “Staff regularly encourage pupils to discuss their own ideas and opinions in class, and to expand their knowledge.”
To improve
- “The impact of improvements is not reflected in the school’s published academic outcomes.”
- “In a few areas of the curriculum, where the school’s work to refine curriculum thinking is ongoing, the sequence in which knowledge and skills build up is not as well ordered as in the rest of the curriculum.”
- “Occasionally, teaching does not support all pupils to practise new knowledge and skills as securely before moving on to new content.”
