Strengths

- “They are proud of their school, its facilities and the range of subjects that they can study.”
- “Pupils value that everyone is helped to feel accepted and welcomed.”
To improve
- “That said, this approach is not used consistently well to support pupils’ progression through the planned curriculum in all subjects.”
- “Some staff do not establish if pupils’ knowledge is fully secure and, in turn, make sure that they are ready for what comes next in the curriculum.”
