Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy their time at school.”
- “There is a real sense of community.”
- “For instance, students in the sixth form help to run several of the clubs that are on offer to younger pupils.”
To improve
- “However, some aspects of the curriculum in a small number of subjects require further development, particularly in Years 7, 8 and 9.”
- “For example, in these subjects, the key knowledge that pupils need to know, as well as the order in which they need to learn concepts are not as well defined.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not learn the curriculum as well as they could in these subjects in key stage 3.”
