Strengths
- “Pupils thrive at this warm, ambitious and highly inclusive school.”
- “They speak with pride about being part of the community and describe it as a place where they feel safe, valued and encouraged to do their best.”
- “Relationships between pupils and staff are extremely positive.”
To improve
- “However, in some wider foundation subjects, there is some inconsistency in what pupils know and remember over time, particularly for disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND.”
- “However, in a small number of wider foundation subjects, assessment is not used precisely enough to identify specific gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
- “When this happens, some tasks do not match pupils’ needs as well as they could.”
