Requires improvement Inspected 11 June 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are welcomed into a close-knit community at this distinctive school.”
- “Pupils show compassion and are concerned for the well-being of others in their ‘crew’.”
- “Pupils show very high levels of respect to each other and to staff.”
To improve
- “Although pupils benefit from a noteworthy personal development offer, they do not make the progress that they are capable of in the academic curriculum.”
- “As a consequence, too many pupils underachieve in external examinations and assessments.”
- “The school has recently put in place a number of measures to address this, but it is too early to see their impact.”
