Strengths

- “Pupils understand the significance of the school’s nine virtues, such as respectfulness and decency.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, the important vocabulary that pupils need to learn has not been sufficiently prioritised.”

- “However, the school recognises the need for further improvement in how the wider curriculum is adapted to meet the needs of pupils with SEND.”
