Good Inspected 12 July 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils come from many different backgrounds and faiths, but see themselves as one big family.”
- “They get lots of opportunities to talk and share their ideas with each other, for example through ‘talk partners’.”
- “Everyone is respectful and wants to listen to what others are saying.”
To improve
- “However, they would value a wider range of opportunities to explore their interests and talents.”
- “In a small minority of subjects, such as geography and art, pupils do not have the same opportunity to explore the subject in as much depth as they do elsewhere.”
- “Assessment systems are not fully developed in these subject areas.”
