Strengths

“The school’s values of ‘friendship, forgiveness, trusting and community’ permeate throughout.”
“The school sits at the heart of the local community and is highly valued by parents and carers.”
“Pupils and staff are right to be very proud of their school.”

To improve

“However, the school is aware that there is some work to do to develop the curriculum for a few subjects and is working to address this.”
“In addition to this, the school does not have a detailed understanding of how effectively the curriculum is taught for some subjects.”
“As a result, it is unclear about how well pupils achieve in these subjects.”
