Strengths

“Pupils at The Epiphany School get off to a great start to their education.”
“They flourish because staff expect the absolute best of them.”
“Pupils rise to these high expectations.”

To improve

“However, the school recognises that its work is at an earlier stage in some subjects, including mathematics.”
“As a result, pupils do not have the same depth of knowledge in these subjects as they do in others.”
