Good Inspected 16 May 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils feel safe around the school.”
- “They happily engage in conversation and games at break and lunchtimes.”
- “Pupils get opportunities to take on responsibilities, such as diversity ambassadors.”
To improve
- “However, although pupils know that bullying is not tolerated, some do not always have enough confidence in how well issues are resolved.”
- “In a small minority of subjects, teaching is not as effective, so pupils are not able to recall or apply important information as readily.”
- “However, this support would work even more effectively for pupils if teachers tailored it more closely to their subject.”
