Strengths
- “Pupils are personable, polite and generally demonstrate kindness towards one another.”
- “They typically display positive attitudes and describe the learning environment as increasingly more purposeful.”
- “Pupils develop a palpable sense of belonging through the school’s celebration of its Cornish heritage, which contributes positively to their personal development.”
To improve
- “While the direction of travel is positive, it is the case that pupils' learning does not yet benefit fully from the actions that leaders have taken.”
- “Consequently, many pupils have gaps in their knowledge, including weaknesses in reading and writing.”
- “As a result, pupils do not achieve as well as they should in many subjects.”
