School remains Good Inspected 9 May 2024
Strengths
- “The school’s new vision is underpinned by an inclusive ethos and ambition for all.”
- “Whilst this marks a change in direction for some parts of the school community, overall, parents, carers and pupils can see the improvements taking place at the school.”
- “Indeed, many pupils value these changes highly and are keen to contribute to further developments.”
To improve
- “However, the most refined curriculum thinking is not yet fully embedded across the whole school.”
- “However, the delivery of the curriculum is variable and sometimes teachers’ expectations of what pupils can do could be higher, particularly regarding written work and in key stage 3.”
- “Consequently, while most pupils produce work of an expected standard or better, including pupils with SEND, some pupils could achieve more.”
