Strengths
- “Leaders have created an ethos where the school’s Christian values are at the heart of everything.”
- “The language of these values is evident in the environment and in all conversations between adults and pupils.”
- “In the weekly celebration assembly, ‘Christian values’ awards are presented for ‘living out’ a particular value.”
To improve
- “However, this is not consistent across all subjects.”
- “In some subjects, teachers do not always check precisely on the knowledge and skills that pupils remember.”
