Strengths
- “Perins School is a warm and inclusive school where every pupil strives to fulfil the school motto of ‘Excellence in Everything’.”
- “Pupils value the extensive range of leadership, sports and creative opportunities that develop their interests and talents.”
- “This includes musical projects with refugee camps in Beirut or working with ex-pupils in staging the impressive west-end style performances of ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’.”
To improve
- “However, in subjects such as history, topics can be taught too quickly, meaning pupils do not study historical events in enough depth.”
- “This means they struggle to recall important facts that link historical events together.”
- “Furthermore, in modern foreign languages, there is not a precise enough focus on when pupils practise speaking or how to use the rules of grammar.”
