Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this school.”
- “Pupils are respectful of their peers, staff and visitors.”
- “They understand and follow the school’s values of self-belief, perseverance, pride and success.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, however, the curriculum is not as well thought out and this leads to some gaps in pupils’ knowledge and understanding.”
- “This is because, although the school has considered what pupils should know by the end of each year, some teaching does not build towards these aims.”
- “This has helped to secure improvements over time for some pupils, but for others absence remains high.”
