Ofsted
Good Inspected 8 November 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils, including students in the sixth form, do their very best to meet leaders’ high expectations for their academic achievement and personal development.”
- “Consequently, pupils and students achieve well in a wide range of subjects.”
- “Pupils enjoy a wealth of high-quality opportunities that reflect leaders’ aim ‘to develop each individual’s potential to the full’.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, teachers are not as clear about the building blocks of knowledge that pupils require for subsequent learning.”
- “At times, this results in teachers delivering the curriculum less well.”
- “This means that pupils do not learn as well as they should in these subjects.”
