Good Inspected 25 June 2024
Strengths
- “The school has built an ethos that helps all pupils to be the best they can be.”
- “The school values of ‘kindness, honesty and respect’ permeate through school life.”
- “For example, as soon as pupils start in Year 7, they attend an outdoor retreat so they can develop positive relationships with their peers and staff.”
To improve
- “However, this is not done consistently well across all subjects.”
- “As a result, in some lessons, some staff do not check that pupils have a secure understanding of the key concepts before introducing new learning.”
- “This creates some gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
