Strengths
- “Pupils benefit from attending a welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “The school motto, ‘valuing all our successes’, captures how leaders appreciate the individual achievements of each pupil.”
- “Teachers know their pupils well and the relationships between staff and pupils are very positive.”
To improve
- “Leaders’ curriculum thinking in some subjects, such as history and science, is less well developed.”
- “In these subjects, the most important knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn and connect is not thoroughly considered.”
- “This means that some pupils do not deepen their knowledge as effectively as they should.”
