Strengths
- “Christ’s College is an inclusive school that has been transformed by its current senior leaders.”
- “Pupils and their parents typically enthuse about the many improvements.”
- “As one parent said, ‘The school has made massive strides forward since the appointment of the current principal, and standards, expectations and behaviour have improved drastically.’”
To improve
- “However, in a few classes this is not the case and pupils are not building their knowledge and understanding as well as they should.”
- “However, inconsistencies in some teachers’ implementation of this curriculum mean that its impact is variable.”
- “However, a small minority would like more frequent contact, or feel frustrated their views have not been heard.”
