Strengths

- “There is a respectful culture based around the school’s ethos: ‘everyone welcome, everyone belongs, everyone flourishes’.”
- “They respect, and usually rise to, the high expectations that staff have of them.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, leaders are still refining the curriculum to make sure that pupils get the most out of their learning.”
- “In a small number of subjects, staff are less certain about what to emphasise to pupils.”
- “In these subjects, staff do not consistently check, and build on, what pupils have already learned.”
