Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in this diverse and inclusive school.”
- “They learn that ‘Everyone is welcome, everyone belongs and everyone is important.”
- “There is a strong sense of community, as demonstrated by the flags hung in the hall to celebrate each country that pupils have links with.”
To improve

- “A few subjects need further refinement as the curriculum thinking in these is not clear enough.”
- “Leaders have not identified the essential content they want pupils to learn.”
