Strengths

- “This is because teachers have high expectations about pupils’ learning and behaviour.”
- “They gain much important knowledge and achieve highly.”
To improve
- “In some areas of the curriculum, the knowledge pupils learn does not build precisely on prior learning.”
- “As a result of this, some pupils do not learn as well as they could.”
- “After three headteachers in three years, the school has experienced some instability.”
