Strengths
- “Pupils settle quickly because of the exceptionally strong induction into academic and pastoral support.”
- “They value the effective relationships they build with tutors and class teachers.”
- “Adults have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and academic performance.”
To improve
- “Nonetheless, for a brief period, Year 9 and 10 pupils are having a blended approach of remote and in-school learning to allow for suitable exam conditions for Y 11.”
- “This has broken some pupils’ routines.”
- “Leaders acknowledge that this has set a minority of pupils back in their engagement in learning and attendance.”
