Strengths
- “The school encourages pupils to develop their independence, confidence and creativity.”
- “Leaders have high expectations of all pupils in the school, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “The school has set out an ambitious academic curriculum for all.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, teaching does not check that pupils understand some important knowledge that they are learning, or review what pupils have remembered.”
- “This means that, occasionally, some pupils do not fully understand what has been taught and cannot build strong foundations for future learning.”
