Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and proud to attend this school.”
- “The school expects pupils to achieve well, and they do.”
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), leave the school well prepared for the next stage in their education.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the school does not use assessment information to gain a secure understanding of pupils’ learning over time.”
- “This hampers its ability to refine these subject curriculums so that pupils can achieve the best possible outcomes.”
- “The school has not considered the gaps that some pupils have in their knowledge as a result of weaknesses in previous curriculums.”
