Strengths
- “Pupils feel well cared for at The Chantry School.”
- “Pupils say that their teachers know them well and that they can talk to staff about any concerns they may have.”
- “Leaders have designed the curriculum carefully.”
To improve
- “However, in a few lessons, teachers do not manage behaviour well enough, and this disrupts learning for some pupils.”
- “However, leaders do not make sure that they look at trends and patterns of behaviour and attendance data rigorously enough, and this limits the actions that leaders take to address any issues.”
- “However, now the school population is growing in size, this limits senior leaders’ ability to have full oversight of all areas of the school.”
