Strengths
- “Pupils receive an education which prepares them well for their future.”
- “The school has designed a curriculum which supports them within a range of specific pathways.”
- “Students in the sixth form benefit from work placements across the school’s media and business partners.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects at key stage 4, teaching does not provide sufficient opportunity for pupils to practice and consolidate their knowledge before moving on to new learning.”
- “This means that these pupils are less confident in applying the knowledge they have been learning in different contexts and when working on more complex activities.”
