Strengths
- “Pupils value their friendships.”
- “They recognise the positive impact committed staff have on them.”
- “The school's values of 'Aspire, Believe, Achieve' underpin work to develop pupils' aspirations, confidence and independence and help prepare them for their next steps.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge.”
- “When they encounter more demanding work, they lack some of the foundations that would help them engage successfully.”
- “This means that pupils do not achieve as well as they should and results are below national outcomes.”
