Strengths
- “The school’s core values of respect, friendship, hard work and exploration underpin its high aspirations for pupils.”
- “They enjoy learning and value the positive interactions they have with teachers.”
- “The school has high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and achievement, and pupils regularly rise to meet these.”
To improve
- “Sometimes teachers’ strategies for deepening learning need finessing, including in the sixth form.”
- “This is being addressed through professional development opportunities but is not yet embedded consistently.”
- “Pupils, therefore, could make even more progress through the curriculum and achieve more highly.”
