Strengths
- “The school places a strong emphasis on its ethos, encouraging pupils to focus on six ‘character strengths’.”
- “Pupils are typically polite to adults and each other.”
- “Behaviour around the school is generally orderly.”
To improve
- “While this is having a positive impact, there are some inconsistencies in how the agreed systems are applied.”
- “While many pupils achieve well, the support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those at the early stages of learning to read is not sufficiently robust.”
- “As a result, these pupils are not well supported to achieve highly.”
