Strengths
- “Leaders provide a caring and welcoming community.”
- “Pupils enjoy the wide range of activities that are on offer.”
- “They feel happy and safe at school because staff look after them well.”
To improve
- “There are a few subjects where there is more work to be done to maximise learning.”
- “However, subject leaders are still developing approaches to teaching and assessment in some foundation subjects.”
- “As a result, checks on what learning pupils have retained are not as precise in these subjects as in other areas of the curriculum.”
