Strengths

- “The school’s values of ‘learn, inspire, achieve’ are central to everything the school does.”
- “They enjoy the work they do because it is interesting and challenges them.”
To improve
- “However, in some lessons, the activities selected by staff do not always help pupils learn the intended knowledge as well as they could.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not always use the correct key vocabulary across the full curriculum.”
