Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this school.”
- “The school challenges them with an ambitious curriculum.”
- “Pupils enjoy expanding their knowledge through engaging learning activities, as well as the exciting trips on offer.”
To improve
- “There are still a few subjects where this design needs refining as the school has not set out precisely when some of this important knowledge should be taught.”
- “Additionally, inconsistencies in staff subject knowledge mean sometimes new learning is not presented clearly to pupils.”
- “This means that pupils develop insecurities in their knowledge and do not achieve as well in these subjects as they do in others.”
