Some aspects not as strong Inspected 4 June 2025
Strengths
- “This is a happy and positive school where pupils enjoy attending.”
- “They know that they have trusted adults that they can turn to if they have any worries.”
- “The whole-school ‘buddy’ system is highly effective in helping older pupils learn to be responsible role models.”
To improve
- “However, it does not ensure that all pupils are building a secure body of knowledge.”
- “Some pupils are not prepared for their next stages of education as effectively as they could be as a result.”
- “However, sometimes the curriculum is not being delivered as well as the school intends.”
