Strengths
- “Pupils attend a school that has been on a rapid and sustainable journey of improvement.”
- “Pupils recognise how leaders and staff have worked together to raise expectations about coming to school, behaving well and working hard.”
- “It means the school is now a place where pupils are happy and learning more to prepare them for the future.”
To improve
- “For example, leaders recognised that pupils’ attendance and behaviour were not good enough.”
- “Nevertheless, some pupils have gaps in the knowledge that should have been previously secured.”
- “Consequently, some pupils struggle to explain, for example, the difference between countries and continents.”
