Strengths

“This is a welcoming, inclusive and happy school at the heart of the community.”
“The school has high expectations of pupils’ learning and behaviour.”
“This is reflected in pupils’ achievements.”

To improve

“However, in some subjects, the school does not identify the key knowledge and skills pupils must learn each year.”
“Some pupils do not develop a secure knowledge and, consequently, have gaps in their learning.”
“The school recognises pupils need more opportunities to revisit learning so they can consolidate their understanding in the wider curriculum.”
