Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend their school.”
- “They understand and live up to the high expectations that leaders set for them.”
- “This is evident in the determination with which most pupils work to achieve the highest levels of success possible.”
To improve
- “However, occasionally, some pupils use inappropriate language during social times.”
- “Although the school’s entry of pupils for the English Baccalaureate is markedly below the government’s ambition, leaders have taken decisive and effective action to improve this.”
- “Leaders do not, however, clarify which elements of their guidance teachers must use when planning learning activities.”
