Strengths
- “Pupils are encouraged to achieve their full potential here.”
- “Pupils of all ages are highly respectful of one another.”
- “They enjoy learning across subjects and work hard in class, so that they can achieve their best.”
To improve
- “At times, where teaching is more variable, the quality of pupils' work is less high, as are pupils' results at GCSE.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils are less able to draw connections within and between subjects.”
- “Occasionally, when checking does not occur as routinely, teaching and resources are not revisited or adapted for pupils as effectively to support their understanding and recall of learning.”
