Strengths
- “Pupils and sixth-form students appreciate the rich range of opportunities that Ravens Wood offers them.”
- “They are kept safe and feel well looked after.”
- “They know that leaders will act swiftly if bullying occurs, although incidents are rare.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, leaders do not ensure that pupils spend enough time learning or practising intended curriculum content.”
- “This means that pupils are not able to remember and apply the knowledge they have learned as securely in these subjects.”
