Strengths

- “The school is generally calm and orderly.”
- “Most pupils are polite and respectful.”
To improve
- “However, this ambition is not evident in how well pupils learn the curriculum.”
- “Although some pupils achieve well the curriculum does not support all pupils to learn as well as they should.”
- “However, some pupils’ behaviour disrupts the learning of others.”
