- “Pupils have a common understanding of the importance of values like empathy, equality and teamwork.”
- “This results in positive relationships and a shared commitment to their learning.”
To improve
- “Behaviour in lessons is good but, on occasion, the behaviour of a few pupils can disrupt the learning of others.”
- “However, this is less evident in key stage 3.”
