Strengths
- “Most pupils enjoy their time at Wombourne High School.”
- “They are welcomed each day by staff who care about them and want them to succeed.”
- “In many lessons, pupils learn well and make progress.”
To improve
- “However, in some lessons, their learning is less secure.”
- “This is because teachers are not consistently alert to gaps in pupils’ knowledge or how best to meet their individual needs and help them overcome barriers to learning.”
- “As a result, while pupils achieve outcomes in line with national averages in many subjects, this is not consistent across all areas.”
