Strengths
- “Staff endeavour to meet their needs and ensure they are fully included in the life of the school.”
- “Pupils follow a curriculum which reflects the value that the school places on learning different languages.”
- “French, Spanish and German are offered and pupils are encouraged to gain a qualification in their first language where this is not English.”
To improve
- “However, in 2025 fewer pupils achieved a good or strong GCSE pass in both English and mathematics.”
- “This affected disadvantaged pupils too, as the gap between them and non-disadvantaged pupils nationally widened.”
- “Since the previous inspection, there has been a sharp rise in the proportion of pupils with social and emotional difficulties and attendance has declined.”
