Strengths
- “The school, in its mission to ensure that ‘every pupil is known and loved’, has created a warm and welcoming environment for pupils.”
- “Teachers get to know pupils well, and they have high ambitions for their success.”
- “Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and those who attend the St Francis de Sales Centre for the Deaf, are well supported.”
To improve
- “For some disadvantaged pupils, and sixth-form students studying vocational subjects, the school is working to further develop how it helps them to ensure that they receive the support they need to achieve as well as their peers.”
- “However, the school is still developing its wider approach, to ensure all pupils are supported to become confident, and fluent readers, and develop a love for reading.”
- “However, from time to time, in a small number of subjects, some teachers’ choice of learning activities does not always enable pupils to grasp subject content securely.”
