Strengths

- “The curriculum is broad and ambitious.”
- “Teachers are skilled and know how to get the best from their pupils.”
To improve

- “This limits the breadth of the curriculum for these pupils and narrows the range of GCSE subjects they can take.”
- “However, leaders do not ensure the needs of these pupils are accurately assessed.”
