School remains Good Inspected 22 March 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils learn well at this vibrant and spirited school.”
- “Most pupils rise to these expectations.”
- “Pupils concentrate in lessons and play an active part in class discussions.”
To improve
- “A small number of pupils, staff and parents are yet to buy into this vision.”
- “However, a small minority of pupils are repeatedly sanctioned for the same poor behaviours.”
- “Leaders recognise that more work needs to be done to establish the cause of these behaviours, and to give pupils the guidance and help that they need to improve.”
