Strengths
- “The school has high expectations of pupils’ behaviour.”
- “Pupils understand the school’s systems and routines, which they follow well.”
- “This means that the school is calm and safe.”
To improve
- “Although the school is ambitious for pupils, too often they do not develop the secure knowledge that they need to achieve as well as they should do.”
- “In some subjects, pupils are supported to remember more and produce higher quality work, but that this is not consistent enough across the range of subjects that they study.”
- “Despite a positive shift in attendance, too many pupils still miss too much school, which affects how well they achieve.”
