Strengths

“Staff are palpably ambitious for all pupils, regardless of their starting points.”
“Leaders have made lots of changes to improve the school in recent times, including ensuring that the curriculum meets pupils’ needs successfully.”
“As a result, pupils achieve well.”

To improve

“However, where the curriculum is new in some of the foundation subjects, the activities that some pupils complete are not well matched to the intended learning.”
“When this happens, pupils develop gaps in their knowledge.”
“However, where the school’s curriculum is new in some foundation subjects, assessment practice is less precise, and therefore it is not always being used to plan teaching that builds on what pupils know.”
