Strengths
- “Walsall Studio School is a place where everyone is valued and included.”
- “Pupils understand and follow the ‘MAGIC’ ethos, which includes ‘motivation’, ‘aspiration’ and ‘grit’.”
- “Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and respectful.”
To improve
- “For some pupils, the school’s high aspirations have not been achieved fully, but all pupils say this is a positive environment to learn in.”
- “However, this focus has not yet led to consistently improving outcomes in some subjects by the end of key stage 4.”
- “However, sometimes, teachers do not check pupils’ understanding of some subject content carefully enough.”
