Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in this joyful, caring and ambitious school.”
- “The school’s values of respect, resilience and responsibility permeate throughout the happy and purposeful classrooms.”
- “Expectations for learning and behaviour are unapologetically high for all.”
To improve
- “In some subjects other than mathematics and English, occasionally, learning activities do not consistently match the high ambition of curriculum aims.”
- “This means that a small minority of tasks do not always help pupils to develop a strong understanding of key concepts.”
- “This prevents them from achieving highly across the whole curriculum.”
