Strengths
- “Pupils, including those in sixth form, are positive about life at the school.”
- “Most pupils enjoy their learning and the range of interesting subjects they can study.”
- “A vast array of clubs means pupils have many opportunities to develop their interests and make new friends.”
To improve
- “In a small number of areas, there is further work taking place to improve how staff check pupils’ learning and understanding.”
- “Sometimes, the checks are not as useful as they should be in supporting staff in plugging gaps in pupil understanding.”
- “In these rare instances, pupils find it harder to learn.”
