Strengths
- “Most pupils enjoy learning at this warm and welcoming school.”
- “They value the positive and respectful relationships that they develop with staff and their peers.”
- “Staff care about their pupils’ education and well-being.”
To improve
- “As a result, pupils’ attendance is improving, although certain groups of pupils still do not attend often enough.”
- “However, this programme provides limited opportunities for pupils to celebrate different cultures and faiths.”
- “This means that some pupils are not prepared for life in modern Britain as well as they could be.”
