Strengths
- “Each day, pupils come to school eager and ready to learn.”
- “They know that working hard is expected and that, by doing so, everyone can achieve.”
- “Pupils are keen to talk about their interest and depth of knowledge in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) curriculum.”
To improve
- “Pupils acknowledge that, while bullying is rare, there are occasions where pupils can be unkind.”
- “However, as yet, this effective practice seen in many subjects is not being implemented consistently.”
- “While there is a clear curriculum in place, some pupils are not always able to recollect and articulate what they have learned.”
