Strengths
- “Pupils, including those in the sixth form, attend a happy, respectful and inclusive school.”
- “They proudly embody the school’s vision of ‘be kind, work hard, succeed together’.”
- “There are warm, positive relationships between staff and pupils.”
To improve
- “However, occasionally, the curriculum in a couple of subjects is not routinely delivered as intended, and sometimes learning moves on before pupils have embedded their knowledge securely.”
- “Since the last inspection, published outcomes show that the proportion of pupils who enter the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) suite of subjects at GCSE has been low.”
