Strengths
- “The school provides a welcoming environment.”
- “Most pupils are happy there and feel safe.”
- “The school has high expectations for pupils’ behaviour.”
To improve
- “Although more pupils are now behaving well and focusing on learning, some learning is still disrupted by a few pupils.”
- “Nevertheless, improvements in the quality of education are not consistent.”
- “This means pupils do not always learn as much as they need to in order to achieve well.”
