Strengths
- “A strong inclusive ethos is at the heart of this school.”
- “It is committed to serving and welcoming all pupils and their families.”
- “The care given to pupils by staff show the school’s motto of inspire, learn and achieve.”
To improve
- “Although, in a few subjects this knowledge is not detailed precisely enough.”
- “This means that staff are not as clear on what to teach and when in these subjects.”
- “However, in a small number of subjects, staff do not check pupils’ understanding of previously taught knowledge carefully enough.”
