Strengths
- “Pupils feel valued and happy in this inclusive school.”
- “It welcomes pupils with a wide range of backgrounds and beliefs.”
- “Staff and pupils are rightly proud of the improvements since the last inspection.”
To improve
- “However, in 2024, Year 11 exams results were below national expectations because these pupils did not benefit fully from the curriculum changes.”
- “However, at times, teachers’ approaches differ from what leaders expect.”
- “This creates uneven opportunities for pupils to learn the knowledge in the curriculum.”
