Good Inspected 26 September 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils value the time staff take to listen to their views and to get to know them.”
- “Relationships between pupils and staff are good.”
- “Pupils are particularly positive about the recent changes made to the school’s pastoral systems.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the vocabulary pupils need to explore their learning is not precisely identified.”
- “Pupils therefore do not always develop as deep an understanding of topics as they could.”
- “However, in some subjects, the curriculum is less precisely planned than in the lower school.”
