School remains Good Inspected 24 March 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils say that all teachers encourage them to do things the ‘SNA Way’.”
- “One pupil accurately described this as being ‘taught to be respectful, put ourselves out there, try new things and be kind to others’.”
- “Pupils wear their ties with pride to show others which house they represent.”
To improve
- “There is too little lesson time available for subjects that pupils do not choose to study in greater depth in Year 9.”
- “This restricts the opportunities for some pupils to learn the planned-for key stage 3 curriculum in full.”
- “For example, teachers sometimes teach topics too quickly to cover the curriculum in the reduced teaching time available.”
