Strengths
- “The vision of ‘Learning Together Achieving Excellence’ is at the heart of everything the school does.”
- “Pupils are proud to attend the school and are happy.”
- “This means pupils feel safe and their social and emotional needs are well met.”
To improve
- “However, in some other areas of the curriculum, while teachers know what they need to deliver and how, teachers do not routinely check what pupils know before they are moved on to new learning.”
- “When this happens, pupils do not achieve as well as they should.”
- “However, there are still pupils who miss too many lessons.”
