Strengths
- “There is a strong sense of community at this school.”
- “As one pupil aptly put it, ‘it’s a small school with a big heart’.”
- “Staff and pupils live out the school’s values of courage, compassion, and commitment.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, some staff were not as confident and did not routinely choose activities that helped pupils to learn more and do more.”
- “Furthermore, in some subjects, the school has not yet embedded approaches to help pupils to remember what they have been taught over time.”
- “However, on occasions, these high standards are not maintained and there is some low-level disruption in a small number of lessons.”
