Strengths
- “Pupils at Arthur Mellows Village College thrive in a welcoming and vibrant school community.”
- “They benefit from a high-quality education that extends beyond the classroom.”
- “Pupils are happy, friendly and highly motivated.”
To improve
- “While teaching is typically strong, in a small number of lessons teachers do not check pupils’ understanding precisely enough or adapt their teaching as well as they could.”
- “This means pupils are not moved on to new learning at the most appropriate time.”
- “Occasionally, this means some pupils do not achieve as well as they could.”
