Strengths
- “Pupils feel happy at Dartmouth Academy.”
- “They embrace the school’s mantra to ‘be your best self’.”

To improve
- “However, in key stage 3, some subject curriculums are still being developed for Year 8 and Year 9.”
- “This means there is some variation in the sequencing of the curriculum.”
- “In the primary phase, some pupils are over-supported to help them keep up with the pace of the programme.”
