Strengths
- “This school provides strong pastoral care.”
- “Staff know pupils extremely well.”
- “Pupils trust that someone will support them when they have worries.”
To improve
- “Where the quality of teaching varies, pupils’ behaviour can be less settled.”
- “Pupils follow an ambitious curriculum, but inconsistent implementation of this means that some pupils do not achieve the outcomes of which they are capable.”
- “However, in a minority of subjects, aspects of subject leadership are less well developed, leading to inconsistencies in the quality of education that some pupils receive.”
