Strengths
- “Pupils and students are safe and happy here.”
- “Although large in number, everyone works well together to build a strong sense of community.”
- “When they do, adults address inappropriate behaviours swiftly.”
To improve
- “While there are occasional moments of over-exuberance in the corridors and around the expansive school site, things rarely get out of hand.”
- “Most pupils do very well, although there is still some way to go in the numbers taking and passing the full English Baccalaureate (EBacc) suite of GCSEs.”
- “However, in a few subjects, leaders do not extend and deepen pupils’ cultural knowledge as much as they might – for example, beyond the requirements of an examination specification.”
