Strengths

- “They show a mature understanding of the school’s values of ‘leadership, organisation, resilience, independence and communication’ as well as the importance of showing kindness in all that they do.”
- “Pupils rightly trust that staff will keep them safe and help them if they have any worries.”
To improve
- “Disruptive behaviour or bullying is not commonplace, but it does happen.”
- “However, they know there is more to do.”
- “However, teachers do not routinely check what pupils know and can do in some subjects across the school, so that subsequent learning is tailored fully to their needs.”
