Strengths
- “They enjoy the challenges of the school’s curriculum.”
- “They have positive attitudes to their learning and take great pride in their work.”
- “Pupils are considerate towards one another.”
To improve
- “In a very small number of subjects, pupils are not yet achieving the ambitious aims of the school’s curriculum.”
- “This is because the school is still developing the sequencing of some curriculum content, and how they carefully check what pupils have learned to ensure pupils achieve highly in every subject.”
- “Currently, too many pupils do not attend school regularly enough.”
