Strengths
- “Pupils are happy, safe and enjoy their learning.”
- “The school has created an ambitious and interesting curriculum to ensure that all pupils can learn and succeed, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Pupils’ behaviour is impeccable.”
To improve
- “In some other subjects, where the curriculum has been more recently developed, the content is newer and pupils have had less opportunity to learn it.”
- “As a result, some pupils are sometimes less secure in remembering important ideas, making links to prior learning or discussing more complex concepts.”
