Strengths
- “Pupils are truly cared for and nurtured at Hoo St Werburgh and the Marlborough.”
- “The school’s values drive every decision made by staff.”
- “Pupils have a strong understanding of those values of courage, confidence, respect and belonging.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects the school has not identified precisely enough what pupils need to know and when.”
- “This means that in these subjects teachers are not always clear what they need to teach pupils.”
- “As a result, pupils achieve less well than in the strongest subjects.”
