Strengths
- “Warm and respectful relationships exist between staff and pupils in this school.”
- “Since the last inspection, pupils’ behaviour has improved.”
- “The majority of pupils behave well during structured lesson times and sensibly during unstructured times, such as breaktimes and lunchtime.”
To improve
- “While expectations for pupils’ behaviour have increased, expectations for pupils’ achievement, particularly at key stages 3 and 4, are not high enough and some pupils do not achieve as well as they should.”
- “Pupils’ experience and learning in the classroom from Year 7 to Year 11 are too variable.”
- “However, this ambition is not reflected in published outcomes, which fall significantly below national averages.”
