Strengths
- “Chosen Hill School provides a welcoming and ambitious environment for all pupils.”
- “The school has high expectations of them and balances this with a nurturing approach, when needed.”
- “From the time pupils start in Year 7, to when they leave after Year 11 or Year 13, the school focuses on their next steps.”
To improve
- “However, this is more effective in some subjects than in others.”
- “Occasionally, teachers do not check that all pupils have understood before they move on.”
- “This means that pupils do not have the depth of understanding or the confidence to apply what they have learned in new contexts.”
