Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to come to Nunnery Wood High School.”
- “They enjoy their lessons and have extremely positive relationships with staff.”
- “The school’s ethos that, ‘we share an irresistible belief that each child will succeed’ is understood by all.”
To improve
- “On a few occasions, assessment in key stage 3 can be overly focused on what pupils need to know at GCSE level.”
- “This does not always help to pinpoint the exact knowledge pupils should have learned for their stage of development.”
- “However, the number of pupils opting to study a language at key stage 4 remains relatively low.”
