Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be part of this school.”
- “The school’s values, including empathy, responsibility and belonging, help everyone to feel a valued part of the school.”
- “This camaraderie between pupils means, as one pupil said, ‘Your classmates make you believe you can do it’.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, however, the school does not always know how well pupils have remembered key knowledge.”
- “This means staff training and curriculum adaptations are not always as closely linked to improving pupils’ achievement as they could be.”
- “However, occasionally, pupils become disengaged from their learning.”
