Strengths
- “Rodborough School places a strong emphasis on the 5 Rs: respect, resilience, reflection, resourcefulness and responsibility, which form the bedrock of its pastoral system.”
- “Staff and pupils live out these values daily.”
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school and feel safe here.”
To improve
- “As a result, pupils’ achievement over time is above national averages, although some pupils who are disadvantaged do not achieve as well as they should.”
- “However, some pupils have gaps in their reading knowledge because the school has not identified precisely what pupils know and can do.”
- “Leaders recognise that implementation is not yet consistently strong and continue to take targeted action to refine practice further.”
