Strengths

- “The school mission, ‘be the best version of yourself’ permeates through all aspects of school life.”
- “Churchend is full of smiling pupils who try their best, aim high and behave well.”
To improve
- “The foundation subject curriculum, however, is fairly new.”
- “Occasionally, staff lack the subject knowledge and confidence to address misconceptions and reshape learning.”
- “Teachers do not always design activities that best check what pupils know and remember.”
