School remains Good Inspected 29 November 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils value their time in school.”
- “They learn well and they value the wide range of opportunities to be involved in something beyond the academic curriculum.”
- “Pupils who struggle to read are particularly well supported.”
To improve
- “Provisional published outcomes in 2023 were not as good as they should have been in some subjects.”
- “There were several reasons for this, including the absence of key staff and aspects of the curriculum not being as effective as they should have been.”
- “These changes did not have time to fully impact on last year’s published outcomes.”
