Strengths
- “This is a school at which staff provide high levels of both academic and pastoral care.”
- “Pupils enjoy the various ways in which they can represent their house and the opportunities they are given to celebrate success.”
- “Pupils have a strong sense of belonging at the school and described the house system as like ‘being part of a family’.”
To improve
- “In some subjects at key stage 3, the sequencing of the curriculum is less clear.”
- “Not all departments have thought carefully as to the exact order in which topics are taught and what key concepts pupils need to know and build on.”
- “This sometimes means that pupils do not always remember as much as they could.”
