Strengths

• “Pupils are at the heart of this school’s culture.”
• “Academic and personal development are equally important.”
• “Staff are ambitious for all and the curriculum remains broad from Year 7 onwards, with some bespoke programmes where appropriate.”

To improve

• “However, the delivery of the curriculum is not as consistent as it could be across the school.”
• “In some cases, pupils’ verbal and written answers are not as developed as they could be.”
• “Teachers’ checks on pupils’ learning are not always focused enough on the quality and depth of pupils’ understanding, or on how accurately and independently they can apply their learning.”
