Strengths
- “Pupils at this school are vibrant, confident, self-assured individuals.”
- “They are highly motivated and enthused by what they learn, both academically and in their wider development.”
- “This inspires them to want to know more and meet the high expectations that staff have for them to achieve the best possible outcomes.”
To improve
- “However, there are some wider curriculum subjects that are not as well embedded as the majority of others.”
- “The impact of the refined curriculum design, and the difference that leaders’ checks and actions are having, is not as compelling as it is where the curriculum is at its strongest.”
- “This means that, while pupils learn well in these subjects, they do not recall knowledge and build new learning as securely as they do in others.”
