Strengths
- “Leaders have high expectations of pupils, to which pupils respond very well.”
- “Pupils behave maturely and responsibly throughout the day.”
- “Any pupils who disrupt learning realise very quickly that this is unacceptable.”
To improve
- “Leaders are still developing the academic transition to ensure that pupils are well prepared for what they will go on to study.”
- “Weaker readers in Years 9 and 10, except those pupils with SEND, are not supported well enough to improve their reading.”
- “They do not read regularly enough and are not provided with suitable books to improve their decoding skills.”
