Strengths
- “Pupils relish the challenges of the school’s interesting and varied curriculum.”
- “They enjoy learning and are particularly keen to take part in the wide range of trips, clubs and visits on offer.”
- “Pupils strive to be like their ‘learning superheroes’ by being creative, inquisitive, reflective, resilient, resourceful and cooperative.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, leaders have not identified precisely enough when key concepts will be revisited in each topic.”
- “In these subjects, pupils occasionally find it difficult to draw on their prior learning when learning a new topic.”
- “In some subjects, the content that pupils study does not sufficiently reflect the diversity in British society.”
