Strengths
- “Pupils are proud of their school and speak with confidence about what it offers them.”
- “They describe a positive sense of belonging and value the culture of care, respect and ambition that staff promote.”
- “Pupils appreciate that adults know them well and take time to support them personally and academically.”
To improve
- “However, this classroom experience is not routinely reflected in pupils' outcomes, particularly in some subjects and for some groups.”
- “This demonstrates that some pupils do not achieve as well as they should.”
- “While pupils have some awareness of different faiths and cultures, this knowledge is not secure across all year groups.”
