Strengths
- “Leaders have made it their priority to provide a broad and ambitious curriculum for all pupils, regardless of their starting points.”
- “Pupils respond positively to the high expectations that staff have.”
- “They know that staff want the best for them, and they value the support their teachers provide.”
To improve
- “However, a small number of pupils are not as confident.”
- “However, in mathematics and physical education (PE), it is not yet clear how these have been broken down to clearly identify what pupils are expected to know and remember before they move on to the next steps of their learning journey.”
- “However, some pupils would like more guidance relating to vocational routes and a broader range of careers.”
