Some aspects not as strong Inspected 4 December 2024
Strengths
- “They enjoy coming to school to learn about new things and see their friends.”
- “Pupils know that the staff will look after them and keep them safe.”
- “Pupils focus and engage in lessons.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils struggle to remember previous topics and do not leave school with the knowledge of English and mathematics that is needed for secondary school.”
- “However, behaviour is not managed consistently well by staff, meaning some pupils disrupt lessons and act unkindly.”
- “However, in some subjects this is not always successful.”
