Strengths
- “The school’s values of ‘work hard, be kind and take responsibility’ are evident in how most pupils conduct themselves when at school.”
- “They show respect to each other, staff and visitors.”
- “Pupils know that expectations have been raised through ‘the Coleshill way’ and that routines such as the morning line-up help them to meet these expectations.”
To improve
- “Although current pupils are learning the curriculum in a way that will support future success, this has not always been the case.”
- “Despite the school’s previous work to improve outcomes, pupils’ achievements in the 2024 examinations were below national averages, especially in key stage 4.”
- “Many pupils, including a significant number of disadvantaged pupils, did not secure the key qualifications needed for their next steps in education.”
