Strengths
- “Many pupils enjoy the activities that leaders organise, such as ‘lioness days’ for girls to take part in football and basketball games.”
- “Pupils like taking on responsibilities in the school, including as school counsellors and mental health ambassadors.”
- “This is a very inclusive school.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, the detailed curriculum is not as consistently implemented.”
- “This is because leaders’ checks on teaching of the curriculum are not routinely thorough.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils’ knowledge is less secure.”
