School remains Good Inspected 20 September 2023
Strengths
- “The school takes pride in quickly identifying what all pupils need to succeed.”
- “The systems in place ensure pupils feel welcomed and supported.”
- “The school has high expectations of all pupils.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the precise identification of the knowledge pupils need within topics is less clear.”
- “This makes it harder for teachers to identify any specific gaps pupils may have and where specific opportunities are needed to revisit previous learning.”
- “While the school is ambitious for pupils to achieve highly, the number of pupils choosing to study modern foreign languages at GCSE is much lower than other subjects.”
