Strengths
- “Pupils are rightly proud of their welcoming, inclusive school community.”
- “The high-quality personal development curriculum supports pupils to have an in-depth knowledge about diversity, tolerance and mutual respect.”
- “They show high levels of consideration and kindness towards their peers and staff.”
To improve
- “Teachers are still getting to grips with this practice and sometimes miss opportunities to develop pupils' understanding further.”
- “This hasn't always been the case for a small number of students with higher prior attainment.”
- “This is because some staff do not always support students well enough to develop detailed knowledge of their subjects and achieve well.”
