Strengths

“The school’s values of respect, belonging and aspiration are part of daily life.”
“Pupils appreciate the rewards and recognition they receive for displaying these values.”
“Consequently, most pupils in the school behave well.”

To improve

“While this is evident in the quality of education pupils currently receive, it is not reflected in the outcomes of national tests.”
“However, teaching of the wider curriculum does not follow the same effective approaches consistently.”
“At times it is too variable in quality and impact.”
