“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.”

“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.”
