Requires improvement Inspected 26 March 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy to come to school.”
- “They also know the importance of helping each other, as well as looking after their own well-being.”
- “Most pupils respond positively to the school’s renewed attention to ensuring high expectations of behaviour and learning.”
To improve
- “However, all too often, learning in classrooms and across the school can be interrupted by poor behaviour.”
- “This means that many pupils are not gaining the knowledge and skills they need to be ready for the next stage of their education.”
- “School leaders recognise that there has been too much variability in how well the school helps pupils to learn.”
