Strengths
- “St John Bosco College is a welcoming school community.”
- “Pupils are polite and courteous.”
- “They are proud of their school.”
To improve
- “Some pupils need extra help to control their behaviour and the way they interact with their peers.”
- “However, few pupils study modern foreign languages at key stage 4, which limits the proportion of pupils who achieve the EBacc by the end of Year 11.”
- “In a few other subjects, the curriculum is less strong.”
