Strengths

“Pupils are receiving a rapidly improving education at the school.”
“The trust has acted decisively to tackle weaknesses and stem the recent decline in pupils’ outcomes.”
“Therefore, the trust has added capacity through specialist support.”

To improve

“This has, understandably, resulted in some instability in staffing.”
“However, this is not yet shown in pupils’ general respect towards one another.”
“Low-level incidents of unkindness or lack of respect still affect too many pupils.”
