Strengths
- “Pupils are pleased with the changes that leaders have recently made.”
- “They appreciate that leaders’ work to improve behaviour has helped to create calm and purposeful lessons.”
- “Pupils speak positively about what the school now offers, from their learning to the range of enrichment activities.”
To improve
- “However, the support in place to reduce barriers to learning remains inconsistent.”
- “Leaders’ work to ensure that this is the case for all pupils is ongoing.”
- “Even so, variability in the quality of teaching means that pupils do not learn as well as they should across all subjects.”
