School remains Good Inspected 8 March 2023
Strengths
- “The school’s culture is one of care and ambition for all.”
- “For example, pupils now benefit from improved resources and option choices in the arts.”
- “Most current pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are making good progress through the planned curriculum.”
To improve
- “They understand that bullying is not tolerated, but it does happen sometimes.”
- “However, in some cases, teaching does not consistently ensure that pupils can recall and apply what they have learned securely enough.”
- “Since returning from the restrictions linked to COVID-19, the conduct of some pupils does not meet the school’s high and reasonable expectations.”
