Strengths
- “Pupils are very happy to be members of this kind and caring school community.”
- “This is reflected in the pupils’ impeccable behaviour during their lessons and throughout the school day.”
- “Pupils benefit from trusting relationships with staff and each other.”
To improve
- “However, in a very small number of subjects, the school’s approaches to supporting pupils to remember key prior learning is not effective enough.”
- “This means that, in these subjects, pupils are sometimes not well equipped to build a strong body of knowledge over time.”
Safeguarding: Effective
