Strengths
- “Pupils learn in an environment that is consistently positive and always improving.”
- “Staff have very high expectations of how pupils will behave and what they can achieve.”
- “Pupils rise to this, collecting badges to mark their successes and displaying these proudly on their uniforms.”
To improve
- “For example, staff recognise that when pupils miss learning through absence, they go on to achieve less well.”
- “The proportion of pupils who gain the English Baccalaureate (Ebacc) is lower than the national average.”
- “This is because although pupils study most Ebacc subjects in high numbers, individuals do not study the full suite of courses to meet the requirements.”
