Strengths

- “Pupils typically enjoy attending Chandos.”
- “Staff know them well and sort out any problems that they might have.”
To improve

- “This has hampered pupils’ achievement.”
- “However, the wider curriculum does not yet support pupils to build their knowledge well enough across all subjects.”
